Recent history has helped Eagles succeed like it never has before
The franchise first began play in 1933 and started with a record of 18-55-3 before the end of their first decade. The team did not record a winning season until 1943 where the team 5-4 which ironically was when team combined with the Pittsburgh Steelers during World War II. While the franchise would have spurts of success in the 40s, 60s, and late 70s, the franchise truly turned around when Andy Reid took over the franchise in 1999, amassing a record of 130-93-1.
Since 2000, the Eagles have amassed a record of 244-160-2 over the past 25 seasons. While Reid has led the charge with his 130 wins, Chip Kelly (26-21), Pat Shurmur (1-0), Doug Pederson (42-37-1), and Nick Sirianni (50-20) have amassed winning records when leading the franchise. The Eagles franchise since 2000 has seen 17 playoff appearances, 11 NFC East Championships, eight NFC Conference Championship game appearances, four Super Bowl appearances, and, of course, two Super Bowl victories.
Sunday's victory now gives the city three out of its four major sports franchises a winning record. The Flyers (NHL) own a record of 2206-1608, almost 600 games over .500. The Sixers own a record of 3125-2898 lifetime. With the Phillies, the only major sports team in Philadelphia, having a record less than .500 at 10,296-11,387.
The Eagles are now one of nineteen franchises in the NFL with a .500 record or better. Last week, the Chargers, like the Eagles, scratched back to .500 with their win over the Chiefs and now sit at 495-495-11.
The next closest team to becoming "average"? The Washington Commanders, who are seven games under .500 at 641-648-29, are the team the Eagles finish the season with, playing the Commanders for two of their final three games.
