=== Early Career ===

Jaworski was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1973. After four seasons with the Rams, he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977.

=== Philadelphia Eagles ===

With the Eagles, Jaworski became the starting quarterback and the face of a team on the rise under head coach Dick Vermeil:

'''1980 Season:'''
* Led Eagles to 12-4 regular season record
* NFC Championship victory over Dallas Cowboys
* Super Bowl XV appearance against Oakland Raiders
* Pro Bowl selection
* Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year runner-up

The 1980 Eagles captured the imagination of Philadelphia fans, and the NFC Championship victory over the hated Cowboys remains one of the most celebrated moments in franchise history.

=== Super Bowl XV ===

On January 25, 1981, Jaworski and the Eagles faced the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV. Despite high hopes, the Eagles lost 27-10. The defeat was painful, but the season represented the Eagles' first Super Bowl appearance and a high point for the franchise until the 2018 championship.
