Regular Season Performance
The Eagles kicked off the season with a strong start, boasting a 10–1 record for the second consecutive year. However, their late-season woes set in, and they lost five of their last six games. These struggles cost them the first seed in the NFC and the NFC East title, which went to the rival Dallas Cowboys.
The team’s defense was a major concern, ranking 26th out of 32 teams. Many of their victories were close calls, while their losses included blowouts against the 49ers and Cowboys. The Eagles needed a win and a Cowboys loss in Week 18 to reclaim the division crown, but the Cowboys clinched it with a victory.
Playoff Hopes and Disappointment
Despite their late-season struggles, the Eagles secured their third consecutive playoff berth. Unfortunately, their playoff journey was short-lived. In the Wild Card round, they faced the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Eagles suffered a 32–9 blowout loss, marking one of the worst collapses in NFL history.
Key Trades and Draft Moves
The Eagles made several notable moves during the season:
- D’Andre Swift Trade: In April, the Eagles traded a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Detroit Lions for running back D’Andre Swift.
- Albert Okwuegbunam Trade: In August, they acquired tight end Albert Okwuegbunam from the Denver Broncos in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a seventh-round pick in the same draft.
- Terrell Edmunds Trade: In October, the Eagles traded safety Terrell Edmunds to the Tennessee Titans for a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the same draft.
- Kentavius Street Trade: Also in October, they sent defensive end Kentavius Street to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Uniform Throwback
This season marked a special occasion for Eagles fans. The team donned their classic Kelly green uniforms, evoking nostalgia for longtime supporters. It was the first time since 1996 that the Eagles wore these iconic jerseys.
Conclusion
While the Eagles faced challenges and disappointments, their loyal fan base remains hopeful for the future. As they regroup and strategize for the next season, one thing is certain: Eagles fans will continue to bleed green and cheer for their team, no matter what
