1980: Led by QB Ron Jaworski who passes for 3,529 yards the Eagles soar to the front of the NFC East by winning 11 of their first 12 games. The Eagles would go on to win the Division despite losing 3 or their final 4 game to finish with a 12-4 record. In the Divisional Playoffs the Eagles would trounce the Minnesota Vikings 31-16 at the Vet to earn a trip to the NFC Championship Game. In the NFC Championship Game the Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys 20-7, who were forced to wear their "unlucky" blue uniforms on a frigid day in Philadelphia before a loud sellout crowd at the Vet.

Super Bowl XV: In their first Super Bowl the Eagles are matched up against the Oakland Raiders in New Orleans. The Eagles would go into the game, as heavy favorite as the Raiders were just a wild card team. However, the Raiders would jump on the board early taking a 14-0 lead after the 1st Quarter. The Eagles would get on the board in the 2nd on a Ron Franklin FG, and appeared to get back in the game on a long TD pass to Harold Carmichael from Ron Jaworski. However, the TD was wiped out by a holding call and the Eagles would never get as close again losing 27-10 as Jaworski was picked off 3 times.

2004: Hoping to give Donovan McNabb a star receiver to throw to the Eagles landed Terrell Owens in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. Owens had initially been dealt to the Baltimore Ravens but balked at going to Baltimore and insisted on being traded to the Eagles. The Eagles also bolstered their defense by signing free agent Jevon Kearse while reacquiring Jeremiah Trotter and Hugh Douglas. From the start of the season the Eagles were clearly the class of the NFC as they got off to a 7-0 start. After a loss on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers the Eagles continued to soar, winning their next 6 games to clinch home field advantage and their 4th straight division title, as McNabb had a career season with 3,875 yards passing and 31 TD passes thanks to Owens who had 1,200 receiving yards and 14 Touchdowns. However on the way to beating the Dallas Cowboys to improve to 13-1 Owens suffered a broken leg and was lost for the next 6 weeks meaning the earliest he could return was the Super Bowl. Fearing more injuries the Eagles played their stars sparingly in their final two games losing both to finish 13-3. In the playoffs the Eagles continued their winning ways beating the Minnesota Vikings 27-14 as Donovan McNabb passed for 286 yards with 2 Touchdowns. The win catapulted the Eagles to the NFC Championship Game for the 4th straight year. The was an air of trepidation over Lincoln Financial Field for the NFC Championship Game as the Eagles were hoping the fourth time was the charm after 3 straight NFC Title game losses. The Eagles would get off to a quick start as they led 14-3 against the Atlanta Falcons early in the 2nd Quarter. However the Falcons would get on the board before halftime as the Eagles led 14-10 at the half. In the second half the Eagles defense turned up the pressure shutting down Falcons QB Michael Vick, holding the Falcons to 103 passing yards; as they went on to win the game 27-10 to advance to the Super Bowl for the first time in 24 years.

Super Bowl XXXIX: Facing the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in Jacksonville the Eagles were clearly the underdog. However their confidence was bolstered as Terrell Owens returned from his injury. Still not 100% Owens played gamely with a team high 122 yards receiving as the Eagles and Patriots traded blows for the first 3 Quarters as the game was tied following each quarter. However, in the 4th Quarter the Pats took control jumping out to a 24-14 lead. Facing desperation Donovan McNabb led the Eagles down the field while feeling fatigued and worn from a game worth of abuse got the Eagles to within 3 with a 13-play 79 yard drive. However the drive took up allot of time and the Eagles when they got the ball back only had 46 seconds to go with no timeouts while starting a drive at their own 4. Desperately trying to get into field goal range McNabb would be picked off with 9 seconds left as the Patriots held on for a 24-21 win to capture their 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years.
