Eagles' defensive tackle Antonio Dixon against the Tennessee Titans, October 24, 2010

The 2010 Philadelphia Eagles season was the 78th season for the team in the National Football League (NFL), who looked to improve on their 11–5 record from 2009. They finished with a 10–6 record, but lost to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card playoffs. For head coach Andy Reid, this was his 12th season as the coach of the Eagles. The Eagles played all of their home games at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The off-season saw a significant roster overhaul as Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook, two of the franchise's key players over the last decade, departed. The former was traded to Washington and the latter cut from the roster and signed by San Francisco as a backup. Kevin Kolb was intended to be the Eagles' new franchise QB, however he was injured during the Week 1 game and replaced by Michael Vick, who started in 12 of 16 games (Kolb started in Weeks 4–6 when he was injured) and set franchise records, including a 59–28 win in Washington.

Despite the losses of McNabb and Westbrook, Football Outsiders calculates that the 2010 Eagles the third-best rushing attack of any single-season team from 1993–2010. [1]

And DeSean Jackson, who has averaged, 14th-best in the NFL, 8.7 yards per return, has not returned one for a touchdown this year, waits. And it's a line drive kick. Jackson bobbles, it, and now he has to try and recover. DeSean Jackson GETS A BLOCK! ARE YOU KIDDING! DeSean Jackson still not in and now in for the touchdown, no flags! Unbelievable! No time left! Eagles win!

Coming off their win over the Giants, the Eagles went home for a Week 16 intraconference duel with the Minnesota Vikings. The game was originally scheduled for 1 pm on Sunday, but was bumped to a Sunday Night Football telecast due to the NFL's Flex Scheduling policy. The NFL wants to ensure that every Sunday night game after Week 11 has playoff implications. In this case, the Eagles had a chance to clinch their first NFC East title since 2006, and the sixth in Reid's 12 years as coach, with a win. However, the game was pushed back to Tuesday due to heavy snow in Philadelphia (see below).

Philadelphia delivered the game's opening punch in the first quarter as quarterback Michael Vick found rookie tight end Clay Harbor on a 3-yard touchdown pass. The Vikings responded in the second quarter with cornerback Antoine Winfield returning a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown.

Minnesota took the lead in the third quarter with kicker Ryan Longwell getting a 30-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Joe Webb getting a 9-yard touchdown run. The Eagles answered in the fourth quarter with Vick's 10-yard touchdown run, but the Vikings pulled away after the Vikings scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run by running back Adrian Peterson.

With the loss, Philadelphia fell to 10–5, and is locked into the #3 playoff seed in the NFC.

Postponement[]

The December 2010 North American blizzard postponed the game until Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. out of concern for public safety. The game aired on NBC[30][31] The NFL postponed the game shortly after noon, even before there was any snow accumulation in Philadelphia,[30] after Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency for the city.[30]

Eagles and NFL officials said that the postponement decision was made mainly out of concern for the safety of fans, vendors, suppliers and stadium workers. The game was scheduled to end just before midnight Philadelphia time, during the worst of the storm. Eagles COO Don Smolenski said the possibility of having over 72,000 people (over 69,000 fans plus 3,000 workers) stranded in the brunt of the storm made league and team officials conclude "it just wasn't safe" to play the game on Sunday night.[32] League and team officials were also concerned that emergency vehicles wouldn't be able to make it through safely.[33] Indeed, SEPTA and New Jersey Transit, which are utilized by many Eagles fans coming to and leaving games, were forced to alter or cancel routes due to the storm.[30]

The postponement decision was very unpopular in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, the former mayor of Philadelphia and an avid Eagles fan, said that football was a game that was meant to be played in bad weather. DeSean Jackson tweeted, "It's only snow!!!! Let us play... It must be a lot of fun... I'm ready let's get it on!!"[30] The next day, Rendell told WPEN-FM that the postponement was proof that the United States had become "a nation of wusses." The front page of the Philadelphia Daily News had pictures of Nutter, Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, Eagles president Joe Banner and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in beanie caps, suggesting they were "wimps" for postponing the game. However, Nutter maintained that the city could have had Lincoln Financial Field ready in time for kickoff, and the postponement decision was made by the league and the Eagles.[34]

This was the 20th NFL game to be played on a Tuesday, but the first since 1946.[30][31] The last Eagles game on a Tuesday was September 26, 1944 when they defeated the Boston Yanks in the season opener. It was also the Yanks first regular season franchise game.

The Giants' loss to the Packers earlier on Sunday gave the Eagles the NFC East title.[35] The Eagles' chances of contending for a first-round bye were ended with the loss to the Vikings coupled with the Bears' win over the Jets.

Entering the postseason as the NFC's #3 seed, the Eagles began their playoff run at home in the NFC Wild Card Round against the #6 Green Bay Packers, hoping to avenge their Week 1 loss. Philadelphia trailed in the first quarter as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabtree.[37] Green Bay added onto their lead in the second quarter as Rodgers completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver James Jones.[37] The Eagles answered with a 29-yard field goal from kicker David Akers.[37]

In the third quarter, quarterback Michael Vick found wide receiver Jason Avant on a 24-yard touchdown pass. The Packers' Rodgers then completed a 16-yard touchdown pass to running back Brandon Jackson. The Eagles' Vick got a 1-yard touchdown run (with a failed two-point conversion) in the fourth quarter. Green Bay's defense stopped the Eagles' final drive of the game as Tramon Williams intercepted a Vick pass with 44 seconds to go to preserve the win for the Packers.[37]

With the loss, Philadelphia was eliminated with an overall record of 10–7.[37]
