In his free time, Keyvan Azami enjoys following European football (soccer) and the NFL. His favorite teams include Barcelona FC and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles won a National Football League (NFL) championship for the first time in the Super Bowl era in the 2017 season. However, the team’s most prolonged period of success came at the turn of the century, with the Eagles posting a 59-21 regular season record from 2000 to 2004. Prior to the run, the Philadelphia franchise had managed a 12 win season just once, in 1980, and had failed to string together five seasons of double-digit victories since 1988 to 1992. That period of success, however, resulted in zero National Football Conference (NFC) Championship appearances and just one first place finish among the NFC East. The Eagles posted a 10-6 record three times during this period, for a total regular season record of 52-28. Led by coach Andy Reid, who took over a squad that went 5-11 in 1999, the 2000 Eagles hit the 11-win mark for the first time since 1992 and reached the playoffs for the first time since a wildcard game in 1996. The Eagles would finish second in their division that season and first in each of the four subsequent regular season campaigns. Furthermore, the Eagles reached the NFC Championship in each of those years. The dominant run hit its zenith in 2004, when Philadelphia recorded 13 regular season victories for the first time in franchise history. The record has only been matched once, during the 2017 Super Bowl run. The 2004 squad would also advance to the Super Bowl, Philadelphia’s first appearance in nearly 25 years. However, the team lost a nail-biter to the New England Patriots, 24-21, and dropped to a 6-10 record the following season. The team continued to have mixed results until Reid was replaced by Chip Kelly in 2013.
