Philadelphia Eagles (NFL team)
The Philadelphia Eagles were founded in 1933, when a syndicate led by Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the rights to the defunct Frankford Yellow Jackets franchise for $2,500. Their first game was a 3-3 tie against the Chicago Bears on November 12, 1933, at Philadelphia's Baker Bowl. The team struggled early on, winning one or two games in most of its first 10 seasons.
