The Philadelphia Eagles are in the midst of an incredibly successful stretch of the franchise's long history. The Birds are set to play in Super Bowl LIX, appearing in the big game for the second time in the last three years and the third time since 2017. Before 2017, they had appeared in only two Super Bowls since the franchise was founded in 1933. It's been an excellent few years.
In Jeffrey Lurie, who has been the owner of the franchise since 1994, the Eagles have a steady hand at the wheel. He, general manager Howie Roseman, head coach Nick Sirianni, and quarterback Jalen Hurts are the most important people behind the team's latest surge of greatness. And when it comes down to it, arguably none are truly as important as Lurie, who provides the capital to pay for management and the roster while—crucially—letting Roseman his work with no interference. It’s a task that is easier said than done for most NFL owners.
