Here is a brief history of the Philadelphia Eagles franchise:
1933 — Frankford Yellowjackets’ franchise in the NFL
awarded to syndicate headed by Bert Bell and Lud Wray
for $2500. Club christened “Eagles” in honor of the symbol
of the New Deal’s National Recovery Act. Eagles and
Chicago Bears play in Philadelphia’s first Sunday game
(Nov. 12) at Baker Bowl. Game ends in a 3-3 tie.
1939 — Davey O’Brien, Texas Christian’s All-America quarterback,
signs with the Eagles for a reported $12,000 per
year salary and percentage of the gate. O’Brien plays in
every game and sets NFL passing yardage record with
1,324 yards. On October 22, the Eagles play in the first
televised pro football game and fell to the host Brooklyn
Dodgers, 23-14, at Brooklyn Ebbets Field. Allan “Skip”
Walz broadcasts the game for NBC from Ebbett's field to
the approximate 1,000 TV sets then in Brooklyn.
1944 — First draft choice Steve Van Buren debuts as
Eagles’ halfback. Team finishes in second place with 7-1-2
record.
1945 — Team again finishes in second place with 7-3
record and leads league in scoring with 272 points. Van
Buren leads NFL with 838 rushing yards and 110 points.
1947 — Rookie end Pete Pihos, Van Buren, and Bosh
Pritchard combine with an overpowering defense to lead
Philadelphia into the NFL championship game for the first
time but the Chicago Cardinals earn the NFL title with a
28-21 victory at icy Comiskey Park.
1948 — Eagles win their first NFL championship, defeating
the Chicago Cardinals, 7-0, in a blinding snowstorm at
Shibe Park.
1949 — Thompson sells the team to 100 buyers, each of
whom paid $3,000 for one of the 100 shares. They were
called the “Happy Hundred” or the “100 Brothers.” Their
leader was James P. Clark, a Philadelphia sportsman and
business executive, and the 100 investors included some
of the leading names in Philadelphia business, government
and politics, including Leonard Tose. Vince McNally
is named general manager. University of Pennsylvania All-
America C/LB Chuck Bednarik is a 1st round draft choice.
The Eagles win their 3rd straight Eastern Division title and
defend their NFL championship with a 14-0 win over the
Los Angeles Rams.
1960 — QB Norm Van Brocklin and Chuck Bednarik, who
plays 60 minutes at center and linebacker, pace the
Eagles to their first Eastern Division title in 11 years. The
Birds then win their third NFL championship with a comefrom-
behind 17-13 victory over Green Bay at Franklin Field.
Van Brocklin, the league’s MVP, and head coach Buck
Shaw both announce their retirements at the end of the
season.
1961 — Nick Skorich is named head coach and Sonny
Jurgensen takes over as the starting quarterback. Despite
Jurgensen’s record-setting season as a passer and a 10-4
record, the Eagles fail to repeat as division champions.
1978 — The Eagles post a 9-7 record, their first winning
season since 1966, and make the playoffs for the first time
since 1960. They lose the NFC Wild Card playoff game in
Atlanta, however, 14-13 as the Falcons score two 4th-quarter
TDs and Eagles’ Mike Michel misses a 34-yard FG try
with 1:34 to play. Wilbert Montgomery, in his first starting
season, rushes for 1,220 yards to become the first Eagle
since Steve Van Buren to surpass 1,000 in a season. CB
Herman Edwards provided the “Miracle of the
Meadowlands” when he scooped up a fumbled handoff
from Joe Pisarcik to Larry Csonka and raced 26 yards for
the winning touchdown with 20 seconds left to play
before a stunned Giants Stadium crowd of 70,318.
1979 — With an 11-5 regular season record — their best
since 1961 — the Eagles tie Dallas for first place in the NFC
East and go to the playoffs as a wild card team. After beating
Chicago, 27-17, in the Wild Card Game, the Birds are
upset at Tampa Bay, 24-17 in a divisional playoff round.
Wilbert Montgomery sets a club record with 1,512 rushing
yards, and Harold Carmichael sets a then NFL record on
Nov. 4, catching a pass in his 106th consecutive game.
Rookie barefoot kicker Tony Franklin boots the second
longest FG in NFL history — 59 yards — in a 31-21 victory
at Dallas. Dick Vermeil is voted NFL coach of the year.
1980 — The Eagles win 11 of their first 12 games and go on
to a 12-4 mark and the NFC East championship. The Birds
trounce Minnesota 31-16, in the divisional playoff round
and then upend Dallas, 20-7 at Veterans Stadium, to win
the NFC title and a berth in Super Bowl XV. The Oakland
Raiders prevail in that game, however, 27-10. Ron Jaworski
leads the NFC with a 90.9 passing rating while throwing for 3,527 yards and 27 touchdowns. He is named NFL
player of the year by the Maxwell Football Club and NFC
player of the year by UPI. Harold Carmichael’s then-record
NFL receiving streak is snapped at 127 games when he
fails to catch a pass in the regular season finale at Dallas
after sustaining a back injury in the first half.
1981 — After building a 6-0 record early in the season, the
Birds struggle in their final eight games, post a 10-6
record and appear in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive
year but are upset at home in the NFC Wild Card Game
by the NY Giants, 27-21. The Birds’ defense ranks first in
the NFL in fewest yards allows (4,447) and fewest points
allowed (221). On offense, Harold Carmichael enjoys the
third 1,000-yard receiving year of his career and Wilbert
Montgomery rushes for 1,402 yards.
1988 — The Eagles post the NFL’s best mark (6-1) over the
final seven weeks of the regular season en route to a 10-6
record and the NFC Eastern division title. But their playoff
fate is not sealed until moments after the conclusion of
their 23-7 victory at Dallas in week 16. It is then that NY
Jets’ QB Ken O’Brien throws a TD pass to Al Toon to defeat
the Giants and ensure the division title for the Eagles.
Philadelphia then travels to Chicago for an NFC divisional
playoff game against the Bears and a place in NFL history.
The game, which begins in sunny, 29 degree weather,
would later be dubbed “The Fog Bowl,” after a thick fog
rolls off Lake Michigan late in the 2nd quarter. Due to the
fog, visibility on the playing field was extremely difficult
and the Bears prevail, 20-12. The shining season included
the selection of QB Randall Cunningham, DE Reggie White
and TE Keith Jackson as starters in the Pro Bowl.
Cunningham, who sets a number of Eagles’ single-season
passing records and leads the club in rushing for the second
straight season, earns Pro Bowl MVP honors. He also
wins the Maxwell Football Club’s Bert Bell Award as the
NFL’s top player. White leads the NFL in sacks for the second
consecutive year and Jackson sets an Eagles’ receiving
record with 81 catches en route to earning rookie of
the year honors from The Sporting News.
1989 — The Eagles used an aggressive, ball-hungry
defense — which led the NFL in takeaways (56) and interceptions
(30), and set a team record with 62 QB sacks —
to finish 11-5. Philadelphia, however, finished second to
the Giants in the NFC East (despite two victories in headto-
head competition) and faced the LA Rams in the Wild
Card playoff. Although playing a post-season game at Veterans Stadium for the first time since 1981, the Birds
fell 21-7. QB Randall Cunningham posted similar numbers
to his superb ’88 campaign despite missing receivers
Mike Quick and Keith Jackson for most of the season due
to injuries. A deeper loss came on Dec. 9, when quarterback
coach Doug Scovil passed away. The second alternate
to the Pro Bowl, Cunningham started for the NFC
squad when injuries kept the other QBs from playing. CB
Eric Allen led the NFC in interceptions with 8.
1995 — On February 2, owner Jeffrey Lurie named Ray
Rhodes as the 19th head coach in team history. Eleven
months and a playoff victory later, that decision resulted
in numerous NFL coach of the year honors for Rhodes. In
just his first season at the helm, the former San Francisco
49ers defensive coordinator battled through major roster
turnover, a slew of injuries to key personnel, an early season
QB change, and a sluggish 1-3 start to put the Eagles
back on the winning track. Following that 1-3 start,
Rodney Peete took over at QB for Randall Cunningham
and led them to 9 wins in their final 12 games. The result
was a 10-6 record and a spot in the playoffs for the first
time since 1992. RB Ricky Watters, one of the NFL’s most
prominent free agent acquisitions of the year (he left the
49ers for the Eagles on 3/25/95), combined with Charlie
Garner to give Philadelphia the league’s 4th best rushing
attack. Watters was 6th in the league in rushing with a
career-high 1,273 yards and 11 TDs. In the postseason, the
Eagles routed the favored Detroit Lions, 58-37, in a Wild
Card game. Philadelphia’s season, ended, however, a
week later as they bowed out to the eventual Super Bowl
champion Cowboys, 30-11, at Texas Stadium. At season’s
end, Watters, DE William Fuller (an NFC-high 13 sacks),
and LB William Thomas (whose 7 INTs were the most by an
NFL linebacker since 1983) represented the Eagles in the
Pro Bowl. Off the field, team owner Jeffrey Lurie and his
wife, Christina, oversaw the formation of Eagles Youth
Partnership (EYP). The charitable wing of the Eagles, EYP
was formed in order to improve the quality of life and
enhance opportunities for children in the Greater
Philadelphia region.
1996 — For the second consecutive year the Eagles compiled
a 10-6 regular season record and earned a Wild Card
playoff berth. As such, Ray Rhodes became the first coach
to lead the Eagles into the playoffs in each of his first two
seasons at the helm. In the NFC Wild Card game, however,
the Eagles fell to the host San Francisco 49ers, 14-0, in
rain-drenched 3Com Park. For the third time in six seasons,
the Eagles lost their starting QB to injury early on as
Rodney Peete ruptured a tendon in his right knee vs.
Dallas on 9/30. Ty Detmer, the former Green Bay Packer
and Heisman Trophy winner, led the Birds to four straight
wins and teamed with WR Irving Fryar and RB Ricky
Watters to fuel the conference’s #1 offense (351.7
yds/game). Fryar recorded career highs in TDs (11) and
receptions (a team-record 88) and also tied a Birds’ single-
game record with four TD catches vs. Miami on 10/20.
Watters earned his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl - his second as an Eagle - with personal bests in rushing atts. (353),
rushing yards (1,411), TDs (13), and total yards from scrimmage
(a league-leading 1,855). DE William Fuller again
led the Birds with 13 sacks en route to his 3rd straight Pro
Bowl. MLB James Willis’ interception in the end zone in
the final moments of game 9 at Dallas sealed a win. Willis’
theft off QB Troy Aikman and subsequent lateral to CB
Troy Vincent resulted in a 104-yard TD return, the longest
in NFL history. Prior to the season, the Birds had once
again been one of the NFL’s most aggressive teams in
terms of free agency. The signing of Vincent from Miami,
along with that of Watters from San Francisco the previous
year, made Philadelphia the only team to land another
club’s “transition” free agent in 1995 and ‘96.
1999 – Former Green Bay quarterback coach Andy Reid
was named head coach on January 11th. Three months
later, the club used the 2nd overall draft choice to select
QB Donovan McNabb, one of the most accomplished athletes
to ever come out of Syracuse. With their revamped
roster, the Eagles got off to a 2-7 start, prompting Reid to
insert McNabb into the starting lineup for six of the final
seven contests. In his first start on Nov. 14th vs.
Washington, McNabb sparked the Eagles to a 35-28 win
over the Redskins. RB Duce Staley garnered his second 1999 – Former Green Bay quarterback coach Andy Reid

QB Donovan McNabb, one of the most accomplished athletes
to ever come out of Syracuse. With their revamped
roster, the Eagles got off to a 2-7 start, prompting Reid to
insert McNabb into the starting lineup for six of the final
seven contests. In his first start on Nov. 14th vs.
Washington, McNabb sparked the Eagles to a 35-28 win
over the Redskins. RB Duce Staley garnered his second straight 1,000-yd. rushing season and accounted for a
NFL-best 41% of his team’s offense. New defensive coordinator
Jim Johnson turned up the heat as his troops
accounted for a league-best 46 take-aways, including 28
interceptions (3rd in NFL), five of which were returned for
TDs (a team record). FS Brian Dawkins and CB Troy
Vincent earned their first Pro Bowl team selections.
Vincent’s 7 INTs tied for the league lead and became the
first Eagle to top the entire NFL in INTs since 1972 (Bill
Bradley). Although the Eagles finished with a 5-11 record,
Reid implemented a positive attitude as the Eagles possessed
one of the youngest teams in the NFL. At season’s
end, there were 14 true rookies on the roster.
2000 – Andy Reid, the NFL’s coach of the year by the
Maxwell Club, The Sporting News, and Football Digest,
led the Eagles to the greatest turnaround in franchise history,
finishing 2nd in the NFC East at 11-5. The season
started with a perfectly executed onsides kick by David
Akers to kickoff the season opener at Dallas, leading to a
41-14 win. The Eagles won 10 of their next 13 contests and
earned the top Wild Card spot in the NFC. In the playoffs,
the Eagles overwhelmed Tampa Bay, 21-3, before losing to
the eventual NFC Champion NY Giants in the Divisional
Playoffs. When RB Duce Staley went down for the season
with a foot injury in game 5, Donovan McNabb became a
legitimate MVP candidate (he finished 2nd in AP voting to
Rams RB Marshall Faulk). McNabb accounted for 74.6% of
the team’s total net yards and broke the club’s single season
record for most attempts (569) and completions
(307). TE Chad Lewis led all NFC tight ends in receptions
(69) and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. The defense
featured 3 Pro Bowlers in CB Troy Vincent, DE Hugh
Douglas (15 sacks, 2 in playoffs), and MLB Jeremiah
Trotter. First round draft choice DT Corey Simon recorded
a rookie team-record 9.5 sacks. A full-time kicker for the
first time, Akers etched his name into the club’s record
book for most points (121).
2001 — The Eagles captured their first NFC Eastern Division Championship since 1988 and their first appointment
in the NFC title game since 1980. Adversity hit this
club early and often. The first preseason game was cancelled
due to problems with the Veterans Stadium
NeXturf. Starting C Bubba Miller was lost to a season-ending
foot injury. And they dropped their season opener in
overtime to the Rams before true adversity devastated the
entire world on September 11th when terrorist attacks
struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As a
result, a week’s worth of NFL games were postponed. The
Eagles were 2-2 before beating the Giants, 10-9, on
Monday Night Football for the first time since 1996 (a
span of nine games). The Eagles won 8 of their last 10
games, including a dramatic 24-21 win over the Giants on December 30 to clinch the NFC East title. In the playoffs,
the Eagles defeated the Bucs again, 31-9, and in the
Divisional playoffs, Donovan McNabb made his homecoming
to Chicago a sweet one, winning 33-19 at Soldier
Field. McNabb threw for a career-high 25 touchdown
passes in the regular season and 5 five more in the playoffs.
The Pro Bowlers on defense were DE Hugh Douglas,
MLB Jeremiah Trotter, CB Troy Vincent, and FS Brian
Dawkins. The unit allowed the 2nd fewest point total in
the NFL (208), including a league low 64 points permitted
in 8 road games. In fact, their 7-1 road record was the best
in franchise history. David Akers earned his first Pro Bowl
berth with 115 points and set a club record with 17 consecutive
FGs made.
2002 — In the 31st and final season at Veterans Stadium, the Eagles set a team record for points scored (415), tied
a team record for wins (12), and sent a league-high 10
players to the Pro Bowl. However, they fell in the NFC
Championship game for the second consecutive season.
Andy Reid, the consensus coach of the year, proved that
the Eagles were not a one-man show, winning five of six
games without Donovan McNabb (broken ankle). McNabb
returned for the playoffs and directed a win over Atlanta in
the Divisional playoff. 3rd stringer A.J. Feeley started the
final five games of the regular season, winning his first
four. Although the Eagles lost their season finale to the
Giants, they were still able to clinch home field after the
Jets trounced the Packers in the same stadium one day
later. The defense finished in the top five in numerous
categories, including points allowed, takeaways, and
sacks and sent four players to the Pro Bowl: CB Troy
Vincent, CB Bobby Taylor, FS Brian Dawkins, and DE Hugh
Douglas. The offensive line also featured multiple Pro
Bowl selections for the first time since 1980 with Tra
Thomas, Jon Runyan and Jermane Mayberry. David Akers
set a team record with 133 points to earn his 2nd consecutive
trip to the Pro Bowl.
2003 — In a season marred with injuries, controversy, and
a slow start, the Eagles forged their way to a third consecutive
NFC East division title and their third straight trip
to the NFC title game. Although they came up short in that
contest to the visiting Carolina Panthers, the Eagles revamped
roster provided many memorable moments.
Lincoln Financial Field officially became the Eagles new
nest with a season-opening Monday night contest vs.
Tampa Bay. But the Eagles not only lost their first two contests
(a 17-0 shutout to the Bucs and a 31-10 drubbing by
the Patriots), they were left without the services of Pro Bowl defensive backs Brian Dawkins and Bobby Taylor for
a large chunk of the regular season with foot injuries.
Already playing without starting DE Derrick Burgess
(Achilles) and rookie DE’s Jerome McDougle (ankle) and
Jamaal Green (ankle), the injury bug continued to spread
like a rampant virus. Two key reserve DTs Paul Grasmanis
(Achilles) and Hollis Thomas (biceps), and RG Jermane
Mayberry (elbow) were lost for the season before the calendar
reached November, while LB Carlos Emmons
(ankle) and RB Brian Westbrook (triceps) were felled by
season-ending ailments in December. Remarkably, as the
injuries mounted so did the wins. In fact, after a 2-3 start,
the Eagles rattled off nine straight wins, tying a team
record previously set during their 1960 NFL Championship
season. That win streak was propelled by an improbable
win at Giants Stadium on October 19. Trailing the Giants
10-7 with 1:34 remaining, no timeouts and a sputtering
offense, Westbrook fielded a bouncing punt and raced 84
yards for the dramatic, game-winning score. During that
win streak, the Eagles toughed out crucial wins at Green
Bay with a last-minute, game-winning drive directed by
Donovan McNabb, at Carolina, vs. Dallas, and at Miami.
Although they stumbled in a week 15 contest vs. San
Francisco, the Eagles managed to gain home-field advantage
in the playoffs for the 2nd straight season. Indeed,
McNabb was a major component of the Eagles reversal of
fortunes. After suffering through a paltry QB rating of 51.1
in the first six games, a nagging thumb injury in his throwing
hand, and disgraceful, racial commentary by former
ESPN analyst Rush Limbaugh following the 0-2 start,
McNabb thrived. Over the last 10 regular season contests,
he registered an eye-popping 98.5 QB rating fueling his
4th consecutive berth in the Pro Bowl. Along the way, he
garnered NFC offensive player of the month honors in
November, leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 month. In the
playoffs, he engineered a come-from-behind win vs.
Green Bay and set an NFL playoff rushing record for QBs
(107 yards) before suffering a rib injury a week later vs.
Carolina that sidelined him in the 4th quarter. The Eagles
employed a unique running back trio (Westbrook, Correll
Buckhalter, and Duce Staley), dubbed the “three-headed
monster,” that racked up 1,618 rushing yards, 2,465 total
yards from scrimmage, and 29 total TDs. Despite giving
up the ball 8 times during their 0-2 start, the team established
a club record for fewest turnovers in a season with
22. They also turned in a franchise-record 6 games without
a give-away.
