Are the Eagles headed to the Super Bowl? Absolutely! Here’s what you need to know
The Eagles have made it back to the Super Bowl.
For the second time in three seasons, the Eagles are the NFC champions and are on their way to the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia secured their spot after defeating the Commanders with a score of 55-23 on Sunday evening, ensuring their place in Super Bowl 59, where they will face the winner of the Bills and Chiefs AFC championship game happening later that night.
This match was the Eagles’ second victory over their divisional rivals this year, this time with higher stakes than their previous win during Week 11 of the regular season when they hosted the Commanders.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Eagles’ upcoming Super Bowl appearance in 2025:
When was the last time the Eagles participated in a Super Bowl?
The last time the Eagles played in the Super Bowl was two years ago, where they faced the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 in 2023 (following the 2022 season) and lost with a score of 38-35. This marked the Eagles’ second appearance in the Super Bowl within the past decade, their first being in Super Bowl 52 in 2018.
Recap of the Eagles’ most recent Super Bowl
In their last Super Bowl, the Eagles fell to the Chiefs in part due to a significant defensive holding penalty on cornerback James Bradberry that occurred before running back Jerick McKinnon’s nine-yard run, which led to the game-winning field goal. Kansas City’s kicker, Harrison Butker, successfully made a 27-yard field goal with just eight seconds remaining, leaving the Eagles unable to respond before time ran out.
How many Super Bowl victories do the Eagles have?
Throughout their history, the Eagles have clinched one Super Bowl title: Super Bowl 52 (2017), where they triumphed over Tom Brady’s Patriots. This unforgettable game featured the iconic “Philly Special” play, in which quarterback Nick Foles caught a touchdown pass thrown by tight end Trey Burton.
Who will the Eagles face in the Super Bowl?
The Eagles will find out their opponent for the Super Bowl after the AFC championship game concludes later on Sunday evening. The victor of this latest Bills vs. Chiefs playoff confrontation will earn the AFC title and meet Philadelphia in New Orleans in a couple of weeks.
