Philadelphia Eagles Eyeing Back-to-Back Titles

The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season, looking to replicate their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. With a nearly unchanged roster, the Eagles aim to defend their title, led by star player Saquon Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts. The team's dominant performance last season, including a 14-3 record and a 10-game winning streak, has set the tone for a repeat bid. However, the absence of star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who departed during the offseason, may impact their defense.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles finished the 2024 season with a 14-3 record and their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
  • Saquon Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns in his first season with the Eagles, setting multiple franchise records.
  • Barkley's 2,005 rushing yards in a season made him the ninth player in league history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season.
