The Philadelphia Eagles have no shortage of talent, which is why they remain on the NFL’s short list of Super Bowl contenders despite an uninspiring start to the 2025 season.
On one hand, the Eagles have come up huge in key situations to dispatch the Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams and Buccaneers. Their four September games looked like a gauntlet on paper, and prevailing with a 4-0 record against three 2024 playoff qualifiers — including a Super Bowl LIX rematch in Kansas City — can’t be dismissed.
It’s also undeniable that Philly hasn’t yet passed the eye test, at least not in comparison to last year’s championship team.
