The Philadelphia Eagles will battle the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, a matchup that features the top seed from the AFC and the No. 2 seed in the NFC facing off for the second time in three years.
The Eagles will play in their third Super Bowl in eight years and their fifth since 1981. Their previous appearance was in 2023, when they lost to Kansas City 38-35 in Super Bowl 57.
Philadelphia’s previous Super Bowl championship was best known for the trick play called the “Philly Special,” where quarterback Nick Foles — in place of injured starter Carson Wentz — caught a touchdown pass on fourth and goal toward the end of the second quarter.
Doug Pederson and Nick Foles’ decision to go for the touchdown rather than a field goal on fourth down is considered one of the gutsiest play calls in Super Bowl history.
Philadelphia’s recent title came 13 years after the Eagles fell short against the New England Patriots in a 24-21 loss in Super Bowl XXXIX.
Philadelphia’s championship in 2018 marked their first-ever Super Bowl win. Before that, the Eagles won three NFL championships before the Super Bowl era (1948, 1949, 1960).
