THE STORY
In 2011, Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Andy Reid referred to his team as a "Dream Team" after acquiring high-profile free agents. This proclamation set high expectations, but the team finished with an 8-8 record, missing the playoffs. The label became emblematic of the team's underachievement that season.
