It’s been 16 years since Andy Reid led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl. Did you realize that? Now, many moons later, the Birds have ushered in a new era (again) as they’ve hired Nick Sirianni as their new head coach, but again, this week is special as it marks the 16 years anniversary of a January 23rd win in 2005. Philadelphia would win its first NFC Championship in 25 years by defeating the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 27-10.
Good ol’ Andy Reid would finally get the monkey off his back with this win, as the Birds had lost in three straight NFC Championship Game appearances before this one.
