Eagles 23, Cowboys 7. A playoff spot clinched. A dominating performance IN Dallas, against their sartorially challenged archrivals, including our old friend Terrell.Quite the Christmas present for Eagles fans.
On this day, 46 years ago, the overachieving Philadelphia Eagles upset the Green Bay Packers, 17-13, for the 1960 NFL Championship. It was the only playoff game Vince Lombardi ever lost.
The Packers won the next two NFL championships, with a 24-4 record.
The Eagles haven't won a championship since.
But, with a playoff berth in hand, an underachieving NFC ripe for the picking in the playoffs, a Super Bowl appearance, which seemed so unlikely after the McNabb injury, doesn't seem so implausible anymore.
And, on any given Super Sunday, even the biggest underdog has a chance to leave town with the Vince Lombardi Trophy in hand.
Go Eagles!
