The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. Over those years, they have won two National Football League championships, five NFC championship games, ten playoff appearances, and are a perfect 6-0 in Super Bowls.
Philly has never been to win a Super Bowl ring. However, with their current roster and head coach, there is no reason why they can't bring home their first title soon.
Since their inception, the Eagles have made the playoffs 27 times, won 14 division titles (11 in the NFC East), competed in four pre-merger NFL Championship Games, winning three of them (1948, 1949, and 1960), and won three Super Bowls, the most recent of which was Super Bowl LII at the end of the 2017 season.
The Eagles were one of eight teams to compete in all four of the early NFL championship games. They lost all four games by a total score of 146–7 to George Halas' Chicago Bears, Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cleveland Browns. The Eagles are also one of only six teams to win multiple Super Bowls (three). The others are the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Indianapolis Colts.
During World War II, the United States Navy used an abbreviated version of the NFL game format to play what is now known as the Navy-Marine Corps Game. The game was played every year at Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium with the winner going on to face the Army Academy at West Point, New York in the final game of the season. The Eagles won these games in 1945 and 1946.
In addition to its regular season games, the Eagles also have a history of competing in post-season tournaments including the AFL-NFL Championship Game series, the Super Bowl franchise has the fourth highest win percentage (.625) among all NFL teams who have qualified for at least five playoff contests.
