The Eagles secured a historic first-time all-time winning record
In short: Entering the 2025 season as defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles faced an uphill battle to maintain their dominance. Despite a turbulent mid-season stretch of upsets and offensive struggles, they navigated high-stakes rematches to reach a milestone that had eluded the franchise for decades.
The 2025 campaign was defined by significant milestones and dramatic swings in momentum. As defending Super Bowl LIX champions, the Eagles opened the season on September 4 with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys, a game marked by early chaos including an ejection of Jalen Carter for spitting on Dak Prescott. This win contributed to a series of high-profile performances, including a defensive masterclass against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field and a gritty comeback against the Los Angeles Rams. The latter was particularly notable as it became the team's largest comeback ever at Lincoln Financial Field and their biggest overall since 2010.
However, the path to success was not linear. After an initial 8–2 start, the Eagles suffered three consecutive losses, including a home upset by the Denver Broncos—their first such defeat in franchise history since 1986. The team also faced offensive inconsistencies that led to a blowout loss against the New York Giants. Despite these setbacks, key individual performances emerged; Jalen Hurts achieved a perfect passer rating against the Vikings, becoming only the third quarterback in franchise history to do so.
The season culminated in several historical achievements. A shutout win over the Las Vegas Raiders secured their fifth consecutive winning season, while a victory over the Washington Commanders clinched the NFC East title—the first time an NFC East team repeated as division champions since 2004. Most notably, these results propelled the Eagles to an all-time regular-season winning record of 640–639–27 for the first time in franchise history. Though they ultimately fell to the San Francisco 49ers in a Wild Card round loss (23–19), the season solidified their status as a perennial powerhouse.
The team also saw notable personnel shifts, including the return of retired defensive end Brandon Graham and the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. These moves underscored a period of transition for a roster that managed to maintain high-level production despite significant coaching and coaching-staff turnover.
