BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Jeffrey Lurie awoke at 4:45 a.m. Wednesday worried about a New England Patriots wide receiver drawing pass-interference penalties on the Eagles in Sunday’s Super Bowl.
“I get obsessed with certain things,” Lurie said.
Lurie, who has owned the Eagles since 1994, rises at this hour every morning with some vexing Eagles challenge racing through his mind. It’s not just during Super Bowl week, either. It could be late June when the city’s Eagles fever is in hibernation, and Lurie phones Howie Roseman about the nickel defense.
Since 1995, the Eagles have won the sixth-most games of 32 NFL teams and appeared in the NFC championship game six times.
