Lurie is seeing the fruits of his labor as his team returns to the Super Bowl.
NEW ORLEANS – Amid the chaos and celebration that is Opening Night for Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome on Monday night, with thousands of members of the media from around the world searching for their best viral moment, Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie patiently and proudly answered questions for the better part of an hour on every range of topic.
What he circled back to more than once, as his Eagles make their fourth Super Bowl appearance since 2004, their third since 2017, and their second in three seasons, was the philosophy he’s had since buying the Eagles in 1994.
“I can only be as good as the people around me,” he said. “We want to be the best in every area of an organization and I have an obsession and a love affair with it. It’s always about rethinking things every week, every month, and being humble enough to know that you can even be better. That’s where we’re at now. We have a great roster, a real chance to win a World Championship again, and yet, there are all sorts of areas where we think we can improve.”
Lurie has always had a vision for the Eagles, one that started to take shape almost immediately in the 1990s. He wanted to be a powerhouse on the football field and a positive asset in the community empowering an organization of high-character, incredibly motivated people willing to think outside the boundaries to be great. To be the best.
And the Eagles have a great team, and they know it, and as the team filed out of the Caesars Superdome to return to their parade of buses on the way back to the team hotel, they were one step closer to Sunday and the chance to win it all one more time, a testament to the greatness of an organization top to bottom fulfilling the vision that Jeffrey Lurie started more than 30 years ago.

The Washington Commanders built a solid foundation in 2024. Dan Quinn and Adam Peters drafted, curated, and created an environment that took the scattered pieces it had and formed them into a cohesive unit that performed far better than anyone anticipated. Both Peters and Quinn would tell you that they did not expect this level of success in their first season, but that’s exactly what happened.
On top of being so successful in 2024, they also have the third-largest amount of capital to spend in 2025 to solidify their weakest...
