The victory over the Packers was also the first and only playoff defeat of the Packers' Vince Lombardi's coaching career. The 1960 season was the Eagles' first postseason appearance since their last NFL championship season of 1949. It was their only postseason appearance in the 28 seasons from 1950 to 1977, and their last NFL title until their victory in Super Bowl LII, 57 years later. Off season On March 13, 1960, there was an expansion draft to stock the Dallas Rangers, who soon changed their name to the "Cowboys."The Dallas Cowboys were initially called the Dallas Rangers but were renamed to avoid confusion with a local minor league baseball club in Dallas.Dallas Will Get Gigantic Test In Grid Season.

As since 1951, the Eagles held training camp at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. NFL draft The 1960 NFL draft and the 1960 AFL draft were held separately for college players (the common draft was initiated in 1967). The NFL draft was a draft of 20 rounds with 12 teams picking. The Eagles rotated having the 7th, 8th or 9th pick in the draft rounds, with Chicago and Cleveland. The quickly assembled NFL franchise of the Dallas Cowboys did not have a chance to pick, as the draft was held on November 30, 1959, before they were formed on January 28, 1960. The AFL draft was a list made the teams of territorial players they claimed first. Then a draft was held by drafting players by position instead of any available player. When Minneapolis left the league other AFL teams pursued those picks. Oakland got the rights after they joined the league. The Philadelphia Eagles lost four players to the AFL including 1st round pick Ron Burton, a running back from Northwestern University. A total of six NFL 1st round picks in this draft signed with the AFL this year.
