Soaring Through Super Bowls: A (Mostly) Triumphant Look at the Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles. A team known for passionate fans, a fighting spirit, and...well, sometimes questionable calls (we're looking at you, Donovan McNabb-Brian Westbrook trick play). But one thing's for sure: these birds love taking a crack at the big game. Let's take a dive into their Super Bowl history, a rollercoaster ride that'll leave you wanting wings (and maybe a cheesesteak hoagie).

| What is The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Record |
Early Bird Gets the Worm...Sometimes
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Before the era of flashy halftime shows and million-dollar commercials, the Eagles were champions! They swooped in and snatched three NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl days (1948, 1949, and 1960). That's right, folks, these birds were flying high before the Lombardi Trophy even existed.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
Super Bowl Struggles (with a Touchdown)
Then came the Super Bowl era. Buckle up, because things got a little...feathery. The Eagles reached the Super Bowl four times (Super Bowl XV, XXXIX, LII, and LVII), but only managed to triumph once. That glorious victory came in Super Bowl LII, where they defied the odds and took down the mighty New England Patriots with backup quarterback Nick Foles leading the charge. Remember the "Philly Special?" Yeah, that was pretty sweet.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.

So, What's the Deal?
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
The Eagles have a 1-3 Super Bowl record. Not bad, but not quite the glittering trophy case of some other teams (cough, cough, New England Patriots). Still, they bring the fight every time and their fans are legendary for their unwavering support (and creative heckling).
Fun Fact: The Eagles are the only team to win a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback starting the entire playoffs! (Thanks, Nick Foles!)
