The 1996 Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed a successful campaign, matching their previous 10-6 record and securing a second consecutive playoff berth. Under head coach Ray Rhodes and offensive coordinator Jon Gruden, the team featured a high-powered offense led by Pro Bowlers Ricky Watters, Irving Fryar, and William Fuller. A major highlight was a thrilling 31-21 road victory over the rival Dallas Cowboys, capped by a memorable 104-yard combined interception return for a touchdown. The season also marked a new era for the franchise with the debut of their iconic midnight green uniforms and the selection of future Hall of Fame safety Brian Dawkins in the NFL Draft.
