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. 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 had the third-best rushing attack of any single-season team from 1993–2010.[1]

On January 11, 2010, general manager Tom Heckert was hired by the Cleveland Browns in the same position.[2] On January 14, the Eagles fired special teams coordinator Ted Daisher in order to hire former Buffalo Bills special teams coordinator Bobby April, who opted out of his contract with the Bills, to a three-year contract.

The Eagles donned their throwback uniforms (in celebration of the franchise's 50th Anniversary of their 1960 championship team) and began their season at home for an NFC duel with the Green Bay Packers. In the first quarter, Philadelphia had the early lead with kicker David Akers making a 45-yard field goal, but failed to maintain it in the second quarter with Packers kicker Mason Crosby nailing a 49-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing a 6-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Donald Driver, followed by Crosby hitting a 56-yard field goal.

In the third quarter, the Green Bay fullback John Kuhn pushed up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown run, but replied with running back LeSean McCoy running in a 12-yard TD run. However, the Packers extended their lead with Rodgers bombing a 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Greg Jennings. The Eagles cut the lead in the 4th quarter with quarterback Michael Vick tossing a 17-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, and with Akers nailing a 24-yard field goal, but couldn't do enough, giving the Eagles a loss.

With the loss, the Eagles began the season at 0–1. They also lost Leonard Weaver, who was considered to be the best fullback in the NFL in 2009 and had just been signed to a record-breaking fullback, to a career ending injury.

Hoping to rebound from their loss to the Packers the Eagles flew to Ford Field for an NFC Duel with the Lions. The Lions looked good early In the first quarter, but with 11:15 remaining, Shaun Hill was intercepted by Nate Allen. Just four plays into the following drive, the Eagles took the early lead when QB Michael Vick bombed a 45-yard TD pass to deep threat WR DeSean Jackson.Detroit replied, driving 76 yards in 6 plays with RB Jahvid Best hauling a 14-yard touchdown run, taking 3:00 minutes off the clock. After three combined punts, the Eagles then fell behind in the 2nd quarter when kicker Jason Hanson nailed a 49-yard field goal. This was followed by QB Shaun Hill slinging a screen pass to RB Jahvid Best, who took it 75 yards for a touchdown, widening the lead to 17-7. The possession took only three plays and barely a minute off the clock. Then the Eagles replied with an 11 play, 75 yard drive that ended with RB LeSean McCoy taking in a 14-yard TD run. After a Lions punt, the Eagles marched 89 yards in less than a minute with QB Michael Vick throwing a 9-yard TD pass to WR Jeremy Maclin. The Eagles led 21-17 at halftime. On their second possession of the third quarter, the Eagles scored again, with RB LeSean McCoy hammering home a 4-yard TD run. Things got worse for the Lions, as Shaun Hill was intercepted on their next possession by Ellis Hobbs. They managed to force a punt, but wasted a 12 play, 48 yard drive that took 5:49 off the clock. On 4th-and-1 at the Eagles 29, Jahvid Best was stuffed for no gain and the Lions turned it over on downs. Worse yet, the drive took into the fourth quarter.

The Texans replied with kicker Neil Rackers getting a 48-yard field goal, yet the Eagles answered in the second quarter with a 4-yard touchdown run from McCoy, followed by a 36-yard field goal from kicker David Akers. Houston struck back with quarterback Matt Schaub completing an 8-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Philadelphia would close out the half with a 22-yard field goal from Akers.

The Texans took the third quarter with running back Arian Foster catching a 13-yard touchdown pass from Schaub and running for a 3-yard touchdown run. The Eagles regained the lead with Vick's 2-yard touchdown run and his 5-yard touchdown pass to fullback Owen Schmitt. Afterwards, Philadelphia's defense prevented any comeback attempt from Houston.

With the win, the Eagles improved to 8–4.

Coming off their win over the Cowboys, the Eagles flew to New Meadowlands Stadium for an NFC East rivalry rematch against the New York Giants. In the first quarter the Eagles trailed early as Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed a 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mario Manningham. The Eagles responded in the second quarter with kicker David Akers getting a 34-yard field goal, but fell further behind after Manning found Manningham on a 33-yard touchdown pass, followed by kicker Lawrence Tynes nailing a 25-yard field goal, then with Manning getting an eight-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Hakeem Nicks. The Eagles cut the lead with quarterback Michael Vick tossing an eight-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, but fell further behind with Manning finding tight end Kevin Boss on an eight-yard touchdown pass. However, the Eagles managed to break the lead and tie the game with Vick bombing a 65-yard TD pass to tight end Brent Celek, followed by his four-yard scramble for a touchdown and then his 13-yard touchdown pass to Maclin to tie the game at 31. After the game was tied the Eagles scored to take the lead with DeSean Jackson returning a punt 65 yards for a touchdown as time expired, becoming the first player in NFL history to do so.[94][95][96] Fox commentator Joe Buck called the final play with:

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![97]

Eagles broadcasters Merrill Reese and Mike Quick called the play on WYSP-FM in Philadelphia this way:[98][99]

Fourteen seconds to go. 31–31. Matt Dodge to punt, gets a high snap, gets it away, it's a knuckler. Jackson takes it at the 35, fumbles it, picks it up, looks for running room. He's at the 40, he's at the 45, midfield (Mike Quick: OH!), he's at the 40 (OH!). He's going to go! DeSean Jackson (OH!)! I don't care if he jumps, dives, he's running around and he's in the end zone, and there's no time, and the Eagles win! The Eagles win! (Quick:) This is Miracle at the Meadowlands Number 2! Miracle in the New Meadowlands, baby!

With the win, the Eagles improved to 10–4.

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[101][102] The NFL postponed the game shortly after noon, even before there was any snow accumulation in Philadelphia,[101] after Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency for the city.[101]

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.[103] League and team officials were also concerned that emergency vehicles wouldn't be able to make it through safely.[104] 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.[101]

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!!"[101] 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.[105]

This was the 20th NFL game to be played on a Tuesday, but the first since 1946.[101][102] 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.[106] 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. The Eagles had a terrific early scoring attempt. After a three-and-out, the Eagles drove into field goal range, but All-Pro kicker David Akers missed wide-right on a 41-yard field goal attempt. The Packers instead snatched the early first quarter lead as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabtree for the early lead.[108] Green Bay added onto their lead in the second quarter as Rodgers completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver James Jones.[108] All the Eagles could muster in the first half was a 29-yard field goal from kicker David Akers.[108]

In the third quarter, after an Aaron Rodgers fumble, quarterback Michael Vick found wide receiver Jason Avant on a 24-yard touchdown pass. The Packers countered right back with an 11 play, 80 yard drive which ended Rodgers chunking a 16-yard touchdown pass to running back Brandon Jackson, taking 6:17 of the clock. At 21-10, the defenses took over for much of the remainder of the game. The Eagles drove into scoring range early in the 4th quarter, but Akers missed another field goal, this time a chip shot from 34 yards, keeping it at 21-10. With 8:56 remaining, the Eagles took over at their own 25. 12 plays and 74 yards later, they faced a fourth-and-goal at the 1. Vick took the snap and rushed forward, barely breaking the plain for a 1-yard touchdown run (with a failed two-point conversion) in the fourth quarter. On the two-point conversion, Vick completed the pass to Celek for the score, but he his back heel went out of bounds and back in before he caught the pass, making him an ineligible receiver. The five yard penalty moved them back to the 7 yard line. Vick's next attempt was incomplete, keeping the score 21-16. The Eagles forced a punt and got the ball back at their own 34 with 1:45 remaining. Vick hit DeSean Jackson for 28 yards to the Packers 38. After back-to-back incompletions, Vick hit Riley Cooper for 11 yards on 3rd and 10, moving the ball to the Packers 27 with less than a minute remaining. However, Green Bay's defense stopped the Eagles' final drive of the game as Tramon Williams intercepted a Vick pass intended for Riley Cooper again, in the end zone, with 44 seconds to go to preserve the win for the Packers.[108] Rodgers and Vick were both fantastic. The Eagles out gained the Packers and won the turnover battle 2-1. However, the Packers had longer time of possession and Aaron Rodgers' was fantastic. Also, All-Pro kicker David Akers, who was 32/38 on kicks in the regular season, missed two easy field goals. With the loss, Philadelphia was eliminated with an overall record of 10–7.[108]

2011 Pro Bowl

On December 28, the 2011 Pro Bowl rosters were announced by the NFL. Quarterback Michael Vick, offensive tackle Jason Peters, cornerback Asante Samuel and kicker David Akers were named as starters, while wide receiver DeSean Jackson was named as a reserve.[109]
