Move over, Dallas Cowboys. There’s a new and unlikely America’s Team in the NFL — at least for the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles have become the popular choice among many football fans who want to see the Kansas City Chiefs lose for various reasons.

The Eagles lost to the Raiders in the New Orleans Superdome in 1981 in Super Bowl XV. In 2005, they lost SB XXXIX to the Patriots at Alltel Stadium (now EverBank Stadium), which is roofless. In 2023, they lost SB LVIII at State Farm Stadium with the roof open. The Eagles’ one Super Bowl win was at the indoor venue U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

After missing the last two months with a triceps tear in his left arm, Eagles edge rusher Brandon Graham might get cleared to play in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday. The Eagles opened Graham’s 21-day practice window on Thursday and could take him off on injured reserve soon.
