From nearly winning the Super Bowl to the intrigue surrounding the Buccaneers wildcard, Eagles are at the bottom.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2023 Super Bowl run came up just minutes short of completion, and they haven’t been the same since.
With just over five minutes remained, Jalen Hurts leveled the score. Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs then mounted an incredible comeback, with a field goal by Harrison Butker and a run by Jerry McKinnon leaving the team from “the city of brotherly love” empty-handed.
Lead by the outstanding Hurts, the team was commendable as they possessed brilliance in all aspect of the game. With a 10-1 record through 11 games, they had a strong start to the new campaign, but all vanished quickly.
Drama struck the Eagles in the Meadowlands, a suburb of New York, less than a year later.
The Eagles were crushed 27-10 at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants, by an incompetent club. 27-10 by a club that ends the regular season with no real competition. from 10 to 1 and at the top. To 11–6 and an emergency.

They are nothing like the club that surprised everyone and came just one play away from capturing the Vince Lombardi Trophy the previous season. Five defeats in six games set off a chain reaction that might abandon Nick Sirianni’s students.
42–19 against the 49ers from San Francisco; 33–13 against the Cowboys from Dallas; 20–17 against the Seahawks from Seattle; 35–31 against the terrible Arizona Cardinals; and the snap in New York.
Their 11-6 puts them in a difficult situation. They have to advance through the wildcard round and face the highly successful Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield.
“Not one of us gives up easily. Their coach, Sirianni, stated, “When you get struck in life or in football, you only have two options: either you stay down or you get up even if you’re ruined.
It makes sense for a variety of reasons. They are the third worst in the league in terms of Jalen Hurts’s physical state—he was once considered an MVP candidate—or the defensive funk, trailing only Arizona (26.8) and the Washington Commanders (30.5).
Their per-game allowed 25.2 points is a liability. Everybody experiences m*****. However, no one gives up. The players are skilled fighters. The coaches are skilled fighters. We’ll throw everything at it and see what transpires,” Sirianni remarked.
