Who won the Super Bowl in the 73rd season for the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL?
2005 Philadelphia Eagles season The 2005 Philadelphia Eagles season was the 73rd season for the team in the National Football League (NFL). Injuries and the Terrell Owens saga combined to wreak havoc upon the Eagles' chances in their post-Super Bowl season. After making the playoffs every season since 2000 and winning the past four NFC East crowns, the Eagles staggered to six wins and ten losses. In the 2004 season, Philadelphia had swept its division rivals, but they became the first team to reverse that feat in its next season, going 0–6 against the NFC East in 2005.
2004 Minnesota Vikings season The 2004 season was the Minnesota Vikings' 42nd season in the National Football League. The Vikings finished the 2004 season going 3–7 over the final 10 weeks just like they did in 2003. However, they made the playoffs with an overall 8–8 record. Daunte Culpepper amassed MVP-like statistics, throwing for 4,717 passing yards (leading the NFL), 39 passing touchdowns (a Viking record), and 5,123 total yards (an NFL record). In the wildcard matchup, the Vikings defeated their rival Green Bay Packers 31–17 in their first ever playoff meeting, making them the second team in NFL history to have a .500 record (8–8) in the regular season and win a playoff game (the first team to do it was the St. Louis Rams, who beat Seattle 27–20 the day before the Vikings–Packers game took place). In the divisional round, the Vikings were defeated 27–14 by the eventual NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, ending their season in a game noted for Viking penalties, turnovers and other miscues.
