Super Bowl LIX Champions Over the Chiefs
The Eagles capped a dominant 2024-25 season by demolishing the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, giving Philadelphia its second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, and the Eagles' ruthless playoff run — blowing out the Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship — established them as one of the most complete teams in recent memory.
Title Defense Falls Flat in the Wild Card
The defending champions' 2025-26 campaign ended with a whimper. Despite finishing 11-6 and winning the NFC East as the No. 3 seed, the Eagles were upset by the 49ers 23-19 in the Wild Card round — a stunning early exit for a team built to repeat. The loss exposed depth issues that emerged over the course of a grueling title-defense season.
Reloading for Another Run
With Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the defensive core still in place, the Eagles remain one of the NFC's most talented rosters. The Wild Card flameout was a reality check, not a death knell. Philadelphia's offseason focus will be on adding the pieces needed to avoid another early postseason exit and recapture the dominance of their championship season.
