The win gave the sports betting Eagles the division title, as they won their last game to finish with an 11-5 record. In the playoffs the sports betting Eagles thrashed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-9 at the Vet in the first round of the playoffs. A week later Donovan McNabb returned to his hometown of Chicago, and had a stellar game as the sports betting Eagles stunned the Bears 33-19 to advance to the NFC Championship. In the Championship game at St. Louis the sports betting Eagles would take a 17-13 lead into halftime. However, the Rams stellar offense could not be contained scoring 19 unanswered points to take a 29-17 lead. The sports betting Eagles would not go down quietly as the sports betting Eagles scored a TD with 3 minutes remaining. Down 29-24 the sports betting Eagles would have one last chance, but McNabb had his pass intercepted at midfield with less then 2 minutes left.

2002: After blowing a big halftime lead in their season opener on the road against the Tennessee Titans the sports betting Eagles soared to the top of the NFC East 116 points as they won their next 3 games. The sports betting Eagles would fall to 3-2, as an ailing Donovan McNabb could not rally the sports betting Eagles past the Jacksonville Jaguars. A week later in a showdown game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the sports betting Eagles would establish themselves as one of the favorites in the NFC by sinking the Bucs 20-10, as they started another 3 game winning streak. After a home loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Donovan McNabb led the sports betting Eagles over the Arizona Cardinals 38-14 despite breaking his ankle early in the game at the Vet. Without McNabb backup Koy Detmer would impress as the sports betting Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers on the road 38-17on the football. However Detmer would separate his shoulder forcing the sports betting Eagles to turn to 3rd string QB A.J. Feeley. Once again the sports betting Eagles would not miss a beat winning 4 straight with Feeley under center to win the NFC East for the second straight season. Despite dropping their final game against the New York Giants on the road the sports betting Eagles would get home field advantage in the NFC with a 12-4 record as Andy Reid was awarded Coach of the Year. Donovan McNabb would return for the playoffs as the sports betting Eagles pulled away from the Atlanta Falcons in the 4th Quarter to advance to the NFC Championship for the 2nd straight season with a 20-6 victory. In the NFC Championship against the Buccaneers all the stars seemed lined up for the sports betting Eagles with it being the final game at Veteran's Stadium where they had slaughtered the Bucs in the past 2 seasons. Early on it seemed as if the sports betting Eagles would fly to the Super Bowl as a long kick return set Deuce Staley up for a TD that gave the sports betting Eagles a 7-0 lead less then a minute into the game. However, the sports betting Eagles would be roughed up by the Buccaneers defense as Donovan McNabb was hit again as the Bucs took a 17-10 halftime lead. Down 20-10 with time growing short McNabb drove the sports betting Eagles deep into Buccaneers territory. However, McNabb would have his pass picked off and returned 95 yards as the sports betting Eagles season ended with a heartbreaking 27-10 loss.

2003: After their heartbreaking loss to close out the Vet the sports betting Eagles hoped to get a measure of revenge against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Monday Night Opener at Lincoln Financial Field. However the sports betting Eagles played sloppy football and were shutout 17-0. A week later the sports betting Eagles looked sloppy again in a 31-10 loss at home to the New England Patriots. At the same time the sports betting Eagles would find themselves embroiled in a media derived controversy after Rush Limbaugh who was working as a commentator for ESPN called Donovan McNabb overrated. The comments were perceived as a racist attack, by a press hungry for controversy and the sports betting Eagles season was in danger of collapsing before it ever began. The sports betting Eagles would win their next 2 games to improve to 2-2, but in truth they still were not playing their best football, as Deuce Staley was struggling to catch up with the offense after holding out most of training camp. Still struggling, the sports betting Eagles lost a key division game to the Dallas Cowboys 23-21, and found themselves 2 games out of first place. Trailing the New York Giants 10-7 late in a game the sports betting Eagles were staring 2-4 in the face as their offense was stuck in neutral. However with 1:16 left Brian Westbrook delivered the sports betting Eagles the spark they needed with a game winning 84-yard punt return for a Touchdown. The win would be the turning point of the sports betting Eagles season as Donovan McNabb began to play better football putting up solid number again on the way to a 3,216 passing yard season, while the sports betting Eagles began a 9-game winning streak which saw them soar to the top of the NFC East again beating the Cowboys 36-10 in a Week 14 rematch at Lincoln Financial Field. After a surprise 31-28 loss to the San Francisco 49ers ended their winning streak the sports betting Eagles closed out their season at 12-4 the best record in the NFC by beating the Washington Redskins 31-7. In the playoffs the sports betting Eagles got off to a shaky start as they found themselves trailing the Green Bay Packers 14-0 after 1 Quarter in the Divisional Playoff Round. The sports betting Eagles defense would toughen and would keep them in the game, as the sports betting Eagles battled back to tie the game at 14 in the 4th Quarter. However with 4:38 left the Packers retook the lead on a 21-yard Field Goal, after the sports betting Eagles defense kept the Packers out of the endzone after having the ball 1st and goal at the 7. After exchanging possessions the sports betting Eagles had the ball with 2:21 and just 1 timeout needing at least a Field Goal to tie. The drive looked stalled as Donovan McNabb lost 16 yards on a sack. With 4th and 26 the sports betting Eagles needed a miracle just to keep the drive alive. That miracle would come as McNabb connected with Freddie Mitchell on a 28-yard pass. The First down would spark the Eagle to life as they were able to get into Field Goal range where David Akers tied the game with 5 seconds left. In overtime Brian Dawkins intercepted Brett Favre's first pass and returned it 35 yards to set Akers up in perfect possession for a game winning Field Goal to send the sports betting Eagles on to the NFC Championship for the 3rd straight year with a 20-17 win. Facing the upstart Carolina Panthers most had expected third time to be a charm for the sports betting Eagles. However it would only bring more frustration as Donovan McNabb suffered a rib injury in the 2nd Quarter. Trying to tough it out McNabb was further frustrated by a group of receivers that could not get open, and when they did could not hold on to any pass. The sports betting Eagles defense would keep them in the game as McNabb tried to play through the pain, but as McNabb was forced to the sideline in the 4th Quarter the Panthers expanded their lead to 14-3 as both watched helplessly as the sports betting Eagles season ended 1 step away from the Super Bowl for the third straight season.

2004: Hoping to give Donovan McNabb a star receiver to throw to the sports betting Eagles landed Terrell Owens in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. Owens had initially been dealt to the Baltimore Ravens but balked at going to Baltimore and insisted on being traded to the sports betting Eagles. The sports betting Eagles also bolstered their defense by signing free agent Jevon Kearse while reacquiring Jeremiah Trotter and Hugh Douglas. From the start of the season the sports betting Eagles were clearly the class of the NFC as they got off to a 7-0 start. After a loss on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers the sports betting Eagles continued to soar, winning their next 6 games to clinch home field advantage and their 4th straight division title, as McNabb had a career season with 3,875 yards passing and 31 TD passes thanks to Owens who had 1,200 receiving yards and 14 Touchdowns. However on the way to beating the Dallas Cowboys to improve to 13-1 Owens suffered a broken leg and was lost for the next 6 weeks meaning the earliest he could return was the Super Bowl. Fearing more injuries the sports betting Eagles played their stars sparingly in their final two games losing both to finish 13-3. In the playoffs the sports betting Eagles continued their winning ways beating the Minnesota Vikings 27-14 as Donovan McNabb passed for 286 yards with 2 Touchdowns. The win catapulted the sports betting Eagles to the NFC Championship Game for the 4th straight year. The was an air of trepidation over Lincoln Financial Field for the NFC Championship Game as the sports betting Eagles were hoping the fourth time was the charm after 3 straight NFC Title game losses. The sports betting Eagles would get off to a quick start as they led 14-3 against the Atlanta Falcons early in the 2nd Quarter. However the Falcons would get on the board before halftime as the sports betting Eagles led 14-10 at the half. In the second half the sports betting Eagles defense turned up the pressure shutting down Falcons QB Michael Vick, holding the Falcons to 103 passing yards; as they went on to win the game 27-10 to advance to the Super Bowl for the first time in 24 years.

Super Bowl XXXIX: Facing the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in Jacksonville the sports betting Eagles were clearly the underdog. However their confidence was bolstered as Terrell Owens returned from his injury. Still not 100% Owens played gamely with a team high 122 yards receiving as the sports betting Eagles and Patriots traded blows for the first 3 Quarters as the game was tied following each quarter. However, in the 4th Quarter the Pats took control jumping out to a 24-14 lead. Facing desperation Donovan McNabb led the sports betting Eagles down the field while feeling fatigued and worn from a game worth of abuse got the sports betting Eagles to within 3 with a 13-play 79 yard drive. However the drive took up allot of time and the sports betting Eagles when they got the ball back only had 46 seconds to go with no timeouts while starting a drive at their own 4. Desperately trying to get into field goal range McNabb would be picked off with 9 seconds left as the Patriots held on for a 24-21 win to capture their 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years.
