When was the last time the Eagles won a Super Bowl? Full list of titles, NFC championships

Philadelphia Eagles history wasn’t always this storied. Quarterbacks like Jalen hurt didn’t just fall into their laps until they did. Instead, the Eagles were frustrated by the Randall Cunninghams, Donovan McNabbs and Carson Wentzs of the world — quarterbacks who would get them close to the Super Bowl, but never close enough to literally touch the trophy. After that, everything changed.

The Eagles won their first Super Bowl in 2018 over the New England Patriots. It was an unlikely victory as the team started their backup quarterback, Nick Foles. The police smeared the Poles in Philadelphia, but it didn’t matter. Fans took to the streets and rioted like never before. I remember because I was covering the game and listening to the police blotter after the fact. I can assure you that there is nothing more entertaining than 9-1-1 operators trying to describe the bad rituals of football fans after their first Super Bowl … ever.

The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl Lii over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The Eagles aren’t universally beloved by any means, but even Giants fans were rooting for Philly to beat the cocky Patriots and Tom Brady. Brady may have seven Super Bowls to his name, six of which came in New England, but we won’t soon forget that he lost to a backup quarterback in Foles.

Foles deserves a lot of credit for his performance in that game, as he threw for nearly 400 yards and three touchdowns. Foles had a remarkable NFL career, mostly as a backup, but this was his finest moment. It could be argued that he even surpassed Brady – a feat few thought possible before the actual game.

The Eagles have made it to the Super Bowl four times – yes, they have plenty of experience playing in the big game. However, it has not always gone according to plan. Philadelphia is just 1-3 when they get to the Super Bowl. Jalen hurts even made an appearance, only to lose to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in a tight contest.

Minus the Eagles’ first Super Bowl appearance in 1981, which saw them blitzed by the Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia has played in one-score games everywhere. If they make another appearance in 2025, expect more of the same.

The Eagles history in the NFC Championship Game is slightly more successful than their Super Bowl results. While Philadelphia struggled to get over the hump with Andy Reid — ironic now given his success with the Kansas City Chiefs — the Eagles essentially parted ways with him because of it. Since then, the likes of Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni have been more successful at least reaching the big game. Now, winning the Super Bowl and appearing in it are two very different things. An NFC championship appearance can be hailed the same as a divisional round loss depending on the score line. Reid and the Eagles found this out the hard way more than once.

The Eagles have won the last two NFC Championship games they have appeared in and three of the last four. Before that they had lost three straight. Something is in the water in Philly, and hosting the game doesn’t hurt either.
