The Eagles entered 2025 as reigning Super Bowl champions, but they rarely resembled the juggernauts who steamrolled the Chiefs en path to a Lombardi Trophy a yr ago. While the Eagles earned their second straight NFC East title, their win total fell from 14 to 11 and their point differential dropped from plus-160 to plus-54. Their only victories by double-digit points got here against the lowly Giants, Raiders and Commanders.
The Eagles also lost to every of the division rival Giants, Commanders and Cowboys – all sub-.500 teams. Those defeats, particularly the regular-season finale against Washington, proved costly for a Philadelphia team that frittered away the second seed within the NFC. As an alternative of hosting the free-falling, seventh-seeded Packers within the wild-card round, the Eagles took on the sixth-seeded 49ers, who narrowly missed out on the No. 1 spot within the conference. The 49ers walked into Philadelphia and ended the Eagles’ season with a 23-19 victory.
For the reason that Eagles’ unceremonious first-round exit on Jan. 11, Nick Sirianni‘s coaching staff has undergone radical changes on the offensive side. The team is now a month away from potentially losing a number of noteworthy contributors to free agency. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is just not in position to hit the open market, but a trade looms as a possibility for the three-time Pro Bowler. Deciding on the uber-talented Brown’s future will likely be one of the necessary items on general manager Howie Roseman‘s plate this offseason.
