The Eagles were formed in 1933 and
gave the fairly young NFL another major city. Philadelphia
was at the top of the league in the 1940s as the Eagles captured
six division titles and two world championships in the decade.
The team suffered ups and downs but success returned in the
'80s as the team earned a berth in Super Bowl XV. The
Eagles have remained perennial contenders ever since and made
their second Super Bowl appearance in the 2004 season.
