2004 Philadelphia Eagles season The 2004 Philadelphia Eagles season was the 72nd season for the team in the National Football League (NFL).

The team gave up a 15-point lead against the Washington Redskins in week 15, and then lost to the Miami Dolphins by one touchdown (surrendered with less than a minute to play) in the final week of the season. The season was overshadowed by a quarterback controversy between Danny White and Gary Hogeboom, with Hogeboom getting the majority of the starts.
