  • Eagles' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

That is the setting as Week 13 will come to a close on ABC’s NFL Monday Night Football with a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field (ABC, 9:00 PM ET). With a victory, the Seahawks will claim their second consecutive NFC West Division championship and return to the playoffs for the third season in a row. With nine wins in 11 games, Seattle has tied the best start in franchise history (1984). “Everybody in the league and all the other players are watching on Monday nights,” says Seattle head coach MIKE HOLMGREN. “Monday Night Football is special.” It will be especially so this week, as the Eagles retire uniform No. 92 in tribute to the great REGGIE WHITE, who died last December 26 at the age of 43. White spent 1985-92 with the Eagles, posting 124.0 sacks and helping the club to five consecutive 10-win seasons from 1988-92. “Reggie was one of my favorite guys, a great person who lived by what he preached,” says Eagles head coach ANDY REID, an assistant under Holmgren in Green Bay when White and the 1996 Packers earned a victory in Super Bowl XXXI.
