The '''Philadelphia Eagles''' are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the [[National Football League]] (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) East division. The franchise was established in 1933 as a replacement for the bankrupt [[Frankford Yellow Jackets]], when a group led by [[Bert Bell]] secured the rights to an NFL franchise in Philadelphia.
The '''Steagles''' were the team created by the temporary merger of Pennsylvania's two National Football League (NFL) teams, the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] and the [[Philadelphia Eagles]], during the [[1943 NFL season]]. The two franchises were compelled to field a single combined team because both had lost many players to military service during World War II. The league's official record book refers to the team as "Phil-Pitt Combine."
