The Eagles are heading to the Super Bowl for the second time in five years.

In 2018, the Eagles beat the Minnesota Vikings, 38-7, in the NFC Championship to advance to Super Bowl LII. And we all know how that ended: with a 41-33 win over the New England Patriots to deliver the Eagles their first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

That was also the last time a No. 1 seed advanced to the Super Bowl.

Here are some more Eagles fun facts:

Philadelphia is the No. 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs for the fifth time in franchise history, having previously done so in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2017. The Eagles’ five No. 1 seeds since 2000 are the 2nd-most by any NFL team in that span, trailing only New England (seven).

Philadelphia is the first team in NFL history to secure two No. 1 seeds over a five-year span with different head coach/QB combos.

This marks the Eagles’ 17th postseason trip under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership. Since 2000, Philadelphia is tied for the 3rd-most playoff appearances (15) in the NFL, trailing only New England (18) and Green Bay (16).

The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth in five of the last six years (2017-19, 2021-22), marking the franchise’s best six-year span since making five consecutive postseason bids from 2000-04. Philadelphia is one of only three NFL teams to appear in the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, joining Kansas City (six) and Buffalo (five).
