<P> The Patriots' Super Bowl win was the third championship for Boston - area sports teams in 12 months, following the Patriots winning Super Bowl XXXVIII the year before and the Red Sox winning the World Series--first in 86 years--three months earlier . This marked the first time since 1989--1990 in the San Francisco Bay Area that the same market has had 2 Super Bowl and World Series winners in 12 months . The Patriots would later appear in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI, losing both to Eli Manning's New York Giants, before winning Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks, 28--24, ten years later and Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons, 34 - 28, two years later . The latest Super Bowl win for the Patriots makes it ten titles among the four Boston teams (5 by the Patriots, 3 by the Red Sox, and one each by the Celtics and Bruins) since 2002 . </P> <P> For the Eagles, with the loss, the city of Philadelphia would not see its first championship since the 76ers swept the 1983 NBA Finals until the next time their city's teams played for a championship, when the Phillies won the 2008 World Series . The Eagles did not return to the Super Bowl until 2017, also with a 13 - 3 record, and defeating the Falcons and Vikings in the playoffs . </P> <P> The Eagles and the Patriots met again in Super Bowl LII with the Eagles taking their revenge 41 - 33 . </P> <P> As of 2018, this is the last time that a team has won back - to - back Super Bowls, with the Patriots losing their second playoff game a year later and then, for the next eight years, every team either losing their first playoff game or missing them altogether . The streak was broken in 2014 when the Seahawks defeated the Panthers and ultimately advanced to the Super Bowl, only to lose to a Patriots goal line stand . The next year, the Patriots, having faltered down the stretch, entered those playoffs as the second seed behind the Broncos, who then defeated New England in the AFC Title Game that year en route to a title of their own in Super Bowl 50 . Two years later, the Patriots, defending champions themselves from Super Bowl LI, returned to repeat their title only to lose the aforementioned Super Bowl LII . </P>

When was the last time that the eagles went to the superbowl
