The 1984 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 52nd in the National Football League (NFL). The team improved upon their previous output of 5–11, winning six games.[1] Despite the improvement, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight season.
Whatever outside chance the Birds had to make the playoffs was sunk on November 25 at St. Louis, when starting quarterback Ron Jaworski suffered a broken leg and missed the remainder of the season. It was the most serious injury the "Polish Rifle" ever suffered in his long career. Joe Pisarcik took over under center for the final three-plus games.
This would be the final season for the Eagles under the ownership of Leonard Tose; as following rumors that the team might end up moving to Phoenix, Tose would eventually sell the team in 1985 to Norman Braman.
