Philadelphia Eagles- Notable Games

Eagles fans have come up with many names for the most notable games in the franchise's history. Often, some of these games are referred to as different things by each fan. This list, hopefully, will put this confusion to rest and serve as the definitive page for naming the greatest (or worst) games in Philadelphia Eagle history.

Miracle at the Meadowlands (1978)
The original "Miracle" featured a Herman Edwards fumble recovery and touchdown that would lead the Eagles past the New York Giants 19-17 on November 19th, 1978.

Miracle at the Meadowlands II (1988)
The second "Miracle" featured Clyde Simmons scoring touchdown in overtime following a blocked field goal to lift the Eagles over the New York Giants 23-17 on November 20th, 1988.

Miracle at the Meadowlands III (2003)
After doing very little on offense, Brian Westbrook ran a punt back 84 yards for a touchdown with less than a minute to go in the third "Miracle" to take place in Giants Stadium. The soon-to-be 12-4 Eagles won 14-10 over their rival. This game took place on October 19th, 2003.

Miracle at the New Meadowlands (2010)
The most famous "Miracle" took place in the Giants new stadium (Met Life) and not Giants Stadium. Hence, it deserves it's own title. This game saw the Eagles pull an incredible comeback after being down by 21 midway through the 4th quarter. The Michael Vick-led offense managed to score 3 touchdowns to tie the game with just over a minute left. Then, DeSean Jackson happened. This game proved to be the deciding factor on the Eagles making the 2011 playoffs. This game took place on December 19th, 2010.

The Snow Bowl (2013)
In Chip Kelly's first year as head coach, the Eagles played the Lions in a ridiculous amount of snow. Ridiculous, as in, 8 inches. This was something that the NFL had not seen in a long time and as a result has become a memorable game for not just Eagles fans, but NFL fans in general. LeSean McCoy set a franchise record for rushing yards in a single game with 217. After struggling for most of the game, the Eagles exploded in the 4th quarter to take the game, 34-20. This game took place on December 8th, 2013.

The Fog Bowl (1988)
This playoff game between the Eagles and the Chicago Bears is legendary. Soldier Field was smothered with fog earlier in the day and the fog just never left. The fog was so think, commentators couldn't even see down to the field. Unfortunately, the Eagles lost to Chicago 20-12. This game took place on December 31st, 1988.

4th and 26 (2004)
This divisional playoff game featured one of the most memorable plays in Eagles' history- the Freddie Mitchell catch from Donovan McNabb that was just far enough for the Eagles to convert on 4th and 26 in overtime. The completion would lead to a David Akers field goal that lifted the Eagles over the Packers 20-17 on January 11th, 2004.
