The Eagles and the Lombardi: A Tale of One Ring (and Three Others That Got Away)
Ah, the Philadelphia Eagles. A team known for passionate fans, a fighting spirit, and... well, a slightly lopsided trophy cabinet when it comes to the Super Bowl. But hey, at least they have one, right? One glorious Super Bowl win that still brings a tear to the eye (and a cheesesteak to the mouth) of Eagles fans everywhere.

So, How Many Super Bowls Do the Eagles Have?
Drumroll, please... The magic number is one! That's right, just the lone Super Bowl LII victory in 2018, where the Eagles soared like underdogs and brought down the mighty New England Patriots. Nick Foles, the "backup quarterback who shall not be named" (because everyone remembers his epic performance), became a Philly legend, and the city erupted in a celebration so loud it probably registered on the Richter scale.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Three Heartbreaking Attempts at Adding Another Ring
Let's not forget the other times the Eagles flew close to the Super Bowl sun, only to get singed by defeat. We've got:
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.

- Super Bowl XXXIX: A valiant effort against the Tom Brady-led Patriots, but ultimately a 31-20 loss.
- Super Bowl LVII: A rematch for the ages! Except, this time the Chiefs came out on top, leaving Philly fans with a bitter taste of "almost."
There was also that pre-Super Bowl era where the Eagles racked up three NFL championships (1948, 1949, 1960). But hey, that's a whole other story (and a whole lot less bling).
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
So, there you have it. One glorious Super Bowl win, a handful of "what ifs," and a city that still bleeds green.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
