The 2000 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 68th in the National Football League and their second under head coach Andy Reid. They improved on their 5–11 record from 1999 and resulted in a postseason appearance for the first time since 1996. Their season started in Dallas, with the game famously known for the onside kick that the Eagles kicked and recovered to start the game. This game is known as the Pickle Juice Game, as the Philadelphia players were given pickle juice by Andy Reid in order to prepare for the high temperature in Dallas that day. The Eagles won the game, 41–14.
