EAGLES ADVANCE TO SUPER BOWL LIX WITH 55-23 VICTORY
* Winning his 303rd overall game, Jeffrey Lurie is the 12th individual owner in NFL history to advance to four Super Bowls. Moreover, Lurie is one of three individual owners in NFL history to earn at least four Super Bowl berths with three different head coaches (Nick Sirianni, Doug Pederson and Andy Reid), joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Pat Bowlen and Al Davis.
* Below are the other 11 owners who have earned four Super Bowl berths:
Robert Kraft (10), Pat Bowlen (seven), Edward DeBartolo (five), Clint Murchison (five), Jack Kent Cooke (four), Al Davis (four), Clark Hunt (four), Joe Robbie (five), Art Rooney (four), Dan Rooney (four), and Ralph Wilson (four).
* This is the fifth Super Bowl appearance and ninth overall NFL championship berth in Eagles history (also 1947, 1948, 1949, 1960, 1980, 2004, 2017, and 2022). Four of the team’s five Super Bowl appearances have happened under Jeffrey Lurie’s stewardship.
* The Eagles are one of three NFL teams with four Super Bowl berths since 2004, joining New England (seven) and Kansas City (four) during that stretch.
* Notably, one third of Philadelphia’s seasons since 2001 have resulted in NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl appearances (eight in 24 years). Since 2017, only the Eagles and Chiefs (four) have played in three-plus Super Bowls.
* Howie Roseman is just the 14th general manager in NFL history to build three Super Bowl rosters with the same franchise. He is the fourth general manager in the league’s salary cap era (since 1994) to do so, joining Bill Belichick (nine), Brett Veach (four) and Kevin Colbert (three).
The other architects of three Super Bowl rosters with one franchise are Bill Belichick (nine), John Beake (five), Al Davis (five), Tex Schramm (five), John McVay (four), Art Rooney Jr. (four), Brett Veach (four), Bobby Beathard (three), Kevin Colbert (three), Jim Finks (three), Jerry Jones (three), Bill Polian (three) and Don Shula (three).
Additionally, Roseman is one of only 11 general managers in NFL history to reach three Super Bowls with at least one championship in an eight-year span.
* Eight of the 14 general managers in league history who constructed three Super Bowl rosters with the same franchise are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
* According to Elias Sports, Nick Sirianni is the third NFL head coach to advance to multiple Super Bowls in their first four career years, joining Joe Gibbs (1982, ‘83) and Mike Tomlin (2008, ‘10).
* Sirianni became the first Super Bowl Era head coach to make the playoffs in each of their first four career seasons while advancing to multiple Super Bowls (also 2022).
* Sirianni is the only Eagles head coach to reach multiple Super Bowls. He is the second to reach multiple NFL championship games (also Greasy Neale).
* Sirianni is the 12th NFL head coach to lead their teams to a 17+ win season (including playoffs), joining Bill Belichick (four), Mike Ditka, Joe Gibbs, Chuck Noll, Bill Parcells, Andy Reid, Ron Rivera, George Seifert, Mike Shanahan, Don Shula and Bill Walsh.
* According to Elias Sports, Jalen Hurts is the eighth QB in NFL history to reach multiple Super Bowls in their first five career seasons. The other QBs who accomplished that feat are Tom Brady (2001, ‘03, ‘04), Patrick Mahomes (2019, ‘20), Russell Wilson (2013, ‘14), Ben Roethlisberger (2005, ‘08), Kurt Warner (1999, ‘01), Troy Aikman (1992, ‘93) and John Elway (1986, ‘87).
Furthermore, Hurts is just the third QB in NFL history to make multiple Super Bowl appearances in their first five career seasons with a different offensive coordinator in each year, joining Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner in that category.
* Philadelphia has won 10 consecutive games at Lincoln Financial Field, which marks the Eagles’ longest single-season winning streak at the venue (including playoffs).
*Overall, the Eagles (.839, 26-5) are tied with Buffalo for the best overall home winning percentage in the NFL dating back to the 2022 campaign (including playoffs).
* Nick Sirianni (5-3 in the postseason) has won five straight home playoff games, which is the longest streak by a head coach in Eagles history. Philadelphia has the 2nd-longest active home playoff winning streak in the NFL, behind San Francisco (seven). *
