<P> At the end of the 2015 season, the Eagles had the 13th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft . They traded Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonso, and their pick to the Miami Dolphins for the #8 pick . Later, they traded the #8 pick, their third - round pick, their fourth - round pick, a 2017 first - round pick, and a 2018 second - round pick to the Cleveland Browns for the #2 pick and a 2017 fourth - round pick . They used the #2 pick to draft North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz . On September 3, 2016, the Eagles traded starting quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings, who had lost Teddy Bridgewater for the season, for a 2017 first - round pick and a 2018 fourth - round pick . Following the trade, the Eagles named Wentz the starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2016 season . First - time head coach Pederson led the Eagles to a 3--0 start to the season . His rookie quarterback started with 5 touchdowns, no interceptions and over 255 yards per game . The Week 4 bye took a toll on the Eagles, and they lost four out of the next five games, including a loss to every rival team in their division . They also lost right tackle Lane Johnson to a 10 - game suspension following the Week 5 loss againist the Lions which damaged Carson Wentz's hot start . In those four games, their average margin of loss was just under 5 points . Pederson and the Eagles won just 3 of their last 7 games . Those included gruesome road losses against the Seattle Seahawks, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Baltimore Ravens . Although Wentz started off the season well, the 6--5 quarterback finished with a TD--INT ratio of 16: 14 . The rookie head coach and rookie quarterback tandem led the Eagles to a disappointing year, finishing with a 7--9 record and coming in last in the division . </P> <P> During the following offseason, the team made several acquisitions on the offensive side of the ball . The Eagles either traded or released notable players from the Chip Kelly era like Ryan Mathews, Matt Tobin, Allen Barbre, Jordan Matthews and Marcus Smith II . They signed more notable players to improve its wide receiver corps that have struggled the last two seasons like Alshon Jeffery, and Torrey Smith as well as 2016 Super Bowl champion, Legarrette Blount . They also added veterans on defense such as Patrick Robinson, Chris Long, Corey Graham, Tim Jernigan and Ronald Darby . The team addressed its defense mostly in the draft, using its top three picks on defensive players . The Eagles drafted Derek Barnett with the 14th overall pick . The Eagles had completely revamped their offense and strengthened their defense heading into the 2017 season . They opened the season on the road versus the Washington Redskins and won the game 30--17 . The team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs the following week, 27--20, in Pederson's return to face Andy Reid . The Eagles then won six consecutive games, including signature wins at the Carolina Panthers, 28--23, and versus the Washington Redskins, 34--24, in a Monday Night contest . On the morning of October 31, 2017, just before the NFL trade deadline, the Eagles made a blockbuster move sending a fourth - round pick to the Miami Dolphins for star running back Jay Ajayi . The move immediately paid dividends for the Eagles heading into their next game versus the Denver Broncos as Ajayi rushed for 77 yards on just eight attempts including a 46 - yard TD near the end of the second quarter . Ajayi and Wentz led the Eagles to a 51--23 rout of the top defense in the NFL . </P> <P> The Eagles headed into their bye week with the best record in the NFL (8--1), and with Wentz leading the NFL MVP discussion with an NFL - leading 23 touchdowns to 5 interceptions . During their bye, the Eagles signed former Giants offensive tackle Will Beatty and former Saints linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to not only add depth but also players with Super Bowl experiences . Coming off of the bye week, the Philadelphia Eagles entered a Sunday night showdown with the defending NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys . The Eagles came out sluggish and trailed 9--7 at the half . The team exploded in the second half though, rattling off 30 unanswered points to soundly defeat their rival by a final score of 37--9 . The Eagles were rolling on a nine - game winning streak after a huge blowout win over the Chicago Bears . The Eagles traveled to Seattle in Week 13 in a huge Sunday Night showdown against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks . The Eagles struggled throughout the whole game, blowing many scoring opportunities and allowing Wilson to throw 3 touchdowns . The Eagles lost 24--10, ending their win streak . However, the Eagles bounced back in Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams in a tough 43--35 win . However, Carson Wentz left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury . It was later found out that Wentz tore his ACL, ending his MVP caliber season . Backup Nick Foles would once again take over as starting quarterback . In Foles's first start against the New York Giants, he would lead them back from a 20--7 deficit and score 4 touchdowns and win the game 34--29 . Foles struggled in the last two games of the season against the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys, and threw a touchdown and 2 interceptions in that span . Despite this, the Eagles finished 13--3 and secured the top seed in the NFC . The Eagles opened as the underdogs, the first time in history that a No. 1 seed has opened up the postseason as an underdog . Despite this, Foles would lead the Eagles past the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round 15--10 . In the next game Foles and the Eagles annihilated the Minnesota Vikings 38--7 in the NFC Championship nicknamed the Minneapolis Massacre, mocking the Minneapolis Miracle from their previous playoff victory . Foles had his best game since week 15 and threw for 352 passing yards and 3 touchdowns including an impressive flea flicker touchdown pass . This win marked the franchise's third Super Bowl appearance and a berth in Super Bowl LII for a 2005 rematch against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots . </P> <P> With Foles at the helm, the Eagles started off the game strong, leading the Patriots 22--12 at halftime . In the second half the Patriots gained momentum and for the first time took the lead in the 4th quarter 33--32 . The Eagles rallied back and scored an 11 - yard Touchdown to tight end Zach Ertz . Later the Eagles converted on a 46 - yard field goal by Jake Elliott to lead 41--33 . On the final play of the game with 9 seconds left, Brady threw a hail - mary pass directed toward tight end Rob Gronkowski which was bobbled by Patrick Robinson before being dropped in the end - zone as time expired, securing the win for the Eagles 41--33, and ending the 58 - year long championship drought . This would be Philadelphia's first Super Bowl win and their fourth league championship (their first championship since 1960). Foles won Super Bowl MVP going 28--43 with 373 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception . Nick Foles became the first backup quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl since his opponent Tom Brady won as the backup for Drew Bledsoe in 2001 . </P>
