The Audio Vault- Eagles 2004-2005 Playoff Run

See what Andrew Salciunas Found in The Audio Vault Today! They continued their trip through past Eagles playoff runs, this time running through the 2004-2005 run, where the Eagles finally broke through the NFC Championship game curse to meet the Patriots in the Superbowl.

This was the year the Eagles finally broke the trend and made it all the way to the Superbowl. And it all started with the Divisional Round win over the Vikings. Despite no Terrell Owens, the Eagles' offense still put up numbers, with McNabb throwing two TDs for and 286 yards. it included some iconic moments, like Freddie Mitchell somehow catching an LJ Smith fumble in the end zone for a TD. And Andrew grabbed that play, a couple of other highlights, and the Joe Buck into to the game out of the Audio Vault today.

Eagles fans were used to playing in the NFC Championship game at this point. We had the scars to prove it. They were coming off 3 straight NFC Championships, and 3 straight losses. But against Mike Vick and the Falcons, they finally broke through. It was a bitterly cold game, that was played on the back of a major snowstorm. But while the weather clearly hurt the Falcons, the Eagles thrived. They won 27-10. And from this game, Andrew grabbed the Dorsey Levens TD, and a postgame interview between Terry Bradshaw and Brian Dawkins.

Unfortunately, the Eagles ran into a dynasty in the Superbowl. Even though Terrell Owens returned to player d a great game despite the injury, the Eagles still lost to the Patriots by a final of 24-21. it was the Patriots' 3rd Superbowl in 4 years. But the Eagles did have the initial lead. Andrew pulled that LJ Smith TD that gave Eagles fans false hope out of the Audio Vault today, as well as the introduction to the game. It also sent Anthony off on a rant about how those cheating Patriots somehow got away with Spy Gate.
