History of the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most iconic teams in the NFL. Founded in 1933, they have been a part of professional football for nearly 90 years and have had some incredible moments throughout their history. From championships to Hall-of-Famers, let’s look at some of the highlights from this storied franchise.

One of the most memorable moments came when quarterback Randall Cunningham led them to Super Bowl XV against Oakland Raiders in 1981. Although they lost that game 27–10, it was still a fantastic accomplishment for such a young team with limited resources back then. It was also during this time that many legendary players took flight with Philly, including Reggie White and Jerome Brown, who both went on to become Pro Football Hall of Famers after their careers ended here, as well as Mike Quick, who is considered by many fans as one of best wide receivers ever seen wearing green and white jersey colors!

The early 2000s were another golden era for Philadelphia Eagles fans – Donovan McNabb became synonymous with success leading his team into four consecutive NFC Championship games (2001–2004), where unfortunately only managed to win once over Atlanta Falcons 2004 season before eventually losing Super Bowl XXXIX in 24–21 against New England Patriots following year despite a valiant effort from him personally throwing three touchdowns passes during the contest itself! This period saw emergency stars like Brian Dawkins too, a safety whose ferocious tackling style earned him the nickname “Weapon X” amongst teammates while being selected nine times All-Pro selection during his tenure there between 1996 and 2008, ultimately making induction into Canton Ohio's hallowed halls in 2018 ceremony alongside other great names mentioned earlier plus Brian Westbrook running back/wide receiver duo combined form formidable backfield combination which helped propel club deep postseason runs those days too!

Finally, we come present day: since hiring head coach Doug Pederson 2016 season has been nothing short of spectacular under his leadership. Winning his first championship 2017 campaign defeating Tom Brady's Patriots 41-33 thanks to Nick Foles' MVP performance record-breaking 11 receptions. Zach Ertz's tight end position alone - something never achieved by any other player in the same role before or since then, either way, making a colossal statement league about what kind of talent lies within the organization today even if the current roster doesn't quite match up past glory just yet... but hey maybe future holds more surprises us all? Only time will tell...
