Biography

Jeffrey Lurie embarks on his 31st season as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Philadelphia Eagles. Lurie purchased the franchise on May 6, 1994, and instituted an organizational infrastructure that reflects the pride and passion of the region, where tireless work ethic and innovation deeply coincides with consistent results. His commitment to excellence has launched an unprecedented era of success, including the first Super Bowl Championship in team history, when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018.

Today regarded among the most prominent franchises in professional sports, the Eagles began their ascent during the first full year of Lurie's ownership in 1995 and have since grown into a customary presence in the NFL's postseason.

The Eagles are one of six teams with three Super Bowl appearances (XXXIX, LII, and LVII) since 2004 and lead the NFC (second overall) in conference title games (7) dating back to 2001. Impressively, almost a third of the Eagles' seasons since 2001 have resulted in NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl appearances. In addition, the Eagles have earned 10 of their 12 all-time NFC East Championships since the 2001 campaign, which leads the division in that span.

Overall, the Philadelphia Eagles have made the playoffs 18 times under Lurie's direction and have produced the third-most postseason bids in the NFL since the turn of the century (16), including trips in six of the last seven seasons (2017-19, 2021-23). During that stretch, the Eagles became the fourth franchise to win a Super Bowl and then follow it with back-to-back playoff appearances since 1994, when the salary cap was introduced. Moreover, including the postseason, the Eagles have recorded the sixth-highest winning percentage (.586, 244-172-2) in the NFL since 2000.

Lurie's blueprint for success has had a profound impact on the field, leading to a greater overall winning percentage (.556, 286-228-3), more playoff games (34), and more playoff victories (17) than all previous ownership groups combined. That model, however, is not just limited to football, as the Philadelphia Eagles organization has wholly embraced a championship mentality in all aspects of its operations, especially in the community.
