Here are some Philadelphia fun facts per Eagles PR:

This is the third Super Bowl appearance under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership, having previously reached the league’s championship game during the 2004 and 2017 seasons.

Currently, Philadelphia is the fourth NFL team to reach three Super Bowls dating back to 2004, joining New England (seven), Pittsburgh (three) and Seattle (three). The Eagles are also the fourth franchise to appear in multiple Super Bowls since 2017, joining Kansas City (two), L.A. Rams (two) and New England (two) in that span.

Jeffrey Lurie is the fourth individual owner to have three different coaches reach the Super Bowl (Andy Reid, Doug Pederson, Nick Sirianni), joining Pat Bowlen (Broncos – Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan, John Fox, Gary Kubiak), Al Davis (Raiders – John Madden, Tom Flores, Bill Callahan), and Georgia Frontiere (Rams – Ray Malavasi, Dick Vermeil, Mike Martz).

Nick Sirianni is the second head coach in franchise history to reach the Super Bowl within their first two years at the helm, joining Doug Pederson in 2017.

Excluding owners and head coaches who acted as their team’s general managers, Howie Roseman is the second general manager to reach the Super Bowl twice with a different head coach and quarterback in each season, joining Ozzie Newsome with Baltimore in 2000 (Brian Billick/Trent Dilfer) and 2012 (John Harbaugh/Joe Flacco).

Philadelphia is the first NFL team to allow 7-or-fewer points multiple times in the same postseason since the 2000 Baltimore Ravens (also W, 38-7 vs. N.Y. Giants).

The Eagles scored a franchise-playoff-record 4 rushing TDs in Sunday’s game (2 TDs by Miles Sanders and 1 TD apiece by Jalen Hurts and Boston Scott). Philadelphia’s 4 rushing TDs were the most allowed by San Francisco’s No. 2-ranked rushing defense this season.
