Facts, stats, history, and other minutiae concerning the two-time Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles
Happy 37th birthday Nick Foles

The 27-2 2013 campaign. The savior of the 2017 season. The Philly Special. Super Bowl LII MVP. Forever a legend in Philadelphia. "You want Philly Philly?"

Happy 49th birthday Jeremiah Trotter Sr.

"The Axe Man" instilled Jim Johnson's ruthless defense with a relentless motor, making four Pro Bowls and earning 2000 AP1 honors as its punishing middleman.

With Sean McDermott out in Buffalo, Nick Sirianni is now the 7th longest-tenured head coach in the NFL. Before January, he was 11th.

McDermott (2017), Mike Tomlin (2007), John Harbaugh (2008), and Kevin Stefanski (2020) all parted with their teams over the preceding weeks.

Carter comes through

The Eagles hold onto a 28-22 Divisional round win in the snow over the Rams, aided by a Jalen Carter 3rd down sack of Matthew Stafford deep in Eagles territory.

Saquon Barkley runs for 205 yards and 2 TDs, but it's Carter who makes the biggest difference.

Turn out the lights

The Eagles' residence at Veterans Stadiums ends badly, losing to the Buccaneers 27-10 in the NFC Championship.

Held scoreless since the first half, the Eagles are doomed by Ronde Barber's 92 yard interception return late in the fourth quarter.

Onto the Linc.

The Eagles D intercepts three passes en route to a 33-19 Divisional round win over the Bears in Chicago.

Donovan McNabb throws 2 TD passes, while Jim Johnson's defense holds Jim Miller and Shane Matthews to 89 yards on a combined 11/22 passing.

Happy 25th birthday Nolan Smith

Blossoming in his second year, Smith amassed four sacks in the 2024 playoffs (a franchise record for most sacks in a single postseason) en route to victory in Super Bowl LIX.

Doug's the guy

The Eagles hire Chiefs OC (and ex-Birds QB/asst. coach) Doug Pederson as their new head coach.

Opinions of Pederson's hiring run the gamut, but even optimists would never have guessed he'd lead the Eagles to their first Lombardi Trophy 2 years later.

Chin up, Broncos fans. Sometimes the understudy can make miracles happen. Eagles fans know.

Hurts and Sirianni's first playoff game

After starting 2-5 and finishing 9-8, the Eagles (as the NFC's first ever No. 7 seed) lose 31-15 to Tampa Bay in the Wild Card round.

The Eagles don't score until the 4th quarter, as Tom Brady gets sorta-revenge for Super Bowl LII.

Time for a change

The Eagles lose 32-9 to the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, a dreary coda to a year that began 10-1, and ended 11-6 with a fast playoff exit.

The Eagles soon overhaul their coaching staff, hiring OC Kellen Moore and DC Vic Fangio. Things get better.

Of the Eagles' 7 total losses this season, they failed to score any TDs in the fourth quarter of 5 of them: vs DEN, at NYG, at DAL, vs. WAS, and vs SF this past Sunday.

The exceptions were the loss to LAC (Barkley's 52-yard rush to begin the quarter) and CHI (TD to AJ Brown down two scores).
January 14, 2026 at 3:02 PM
The Eagles have had 3 different one-year offensive coordinators in the last 3 years: Brian Johnson, Kellen Moore (hired away), and Kevin Patullo.

The last time before 2023 that any Eagles off. coordinator failed to make it past one year: Dana Bible (1998), who was fired after just half a season.
January 13, 2026 at 11:31 PM
A sometimes-forgotten fact about Kevin Patullo.

In December 2021, Patullo (then pass-game coordinator) was almost interim head coach for an Eagles game vs. the Giants.

Nick Sirianni had COVID, and Patullo was designated as gameday interim. Sirianni ended up getting cleared a day before the game.

The Super Bowl push begins

The Eagles’ defense holds off a late Matt Ryan-led surge, hanging on to beat the Falcons 15-10 in the Divisional round.

LeGarrette Blount scores the only Birds touchdown, while Jake Elliott adds three field goals to complete the lead.
January 13, 2026 at 1:33 PM
Little Eagles factoid pertaining to tonight's game:

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans and Steelers starting guard Isaac Seumalo missed each other as Eagles teammates by one year.

Ryans left the Eagles after 2015, whereas Seumalo was an Eagles 3rd round pick in 2016.
January 13, 2026 at 1:45 AM
Happy 26th birthday Jordan Davis

The towering 2022 first-round pick had his best season in 2025, totaling 4.5 sacks, nine TFLs, and blocking a would-be game-winning field goal for the Rams, running it back himself for a walk-off TD.
January 12, 2026 at 4:39 PM
January 12, 2025

The Eagles defense shuts Jordan Love down, intercepting him 3 times (including Quinyon Mitchell's first career INT) en route to a 22-10 Wild Card win over the Packers.

In a memorable scene, Dallas Goedert batters Carrington Valentine repeatedly while scoring his third quarter TD.
