In his debut year, head coach Ray Rhodes led the 1995 Philadelphia Eagles to a resurgent 10-6 record and their first playoff appearance in three seasons. The season was highlighted by a high-powered rushing attack led by Ricky Watters and a historic 58-37 Wild Card victory over the Detroit Lions, marking one of the highest-scoring postseason games in NFL history. The seventh overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft out of Boston College, Mike Mamula was a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles known for his legendary combine performance and recording 31.5 sacks over a five-season professional career.
