Philadelphia Eagles 2024-25 NFL Season Recap

Philadelphia Eagles 2024-25 NFL Season Recap

Though the Eagles lost the coin toss, that would be the only thing Nick Sirianni’s squad lost in Super Bowl LIX. With the Caesars Superdome packed with Philly fans and chants of “E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!” echoing throughout the game, Jalen Hurts and company delivered a dominant performance that will have the City of Brotherly Love celebrating well into the offseason. In a rout reminiscent of past Super Bowl beat downs administered by the Ravens, Buccaneers, and Seahawks since the turn of the century, Philadelphia wasted no time dismantling the reigning back-to-back champion Chiefs. By halftime, the Eagles had built a commanding 24-0 lead, capitalizing on Kansas City’s turnovers while their defense stifled Patrick Mahomes, holding the Chiefs to just one first down and 23 total yards. The outcome was never in doubt from that point forward at the crypto sportsbook, sealing a championship win that left no room for a dramatic comeback.

When the 40-22 rout was etched into the record books, Philadelphia had outgained Kansas City 345-275, won the turnover battle 3-1, recorded six sacks, and held the Chiefs to just 12 first downs while limiting them to a 3-of-11 showing on third downs. The Eagles dominated time of possession, controlling the ball for nearly 37 minutes. While Saquon Barkley had a relatively quiet game with 97 total scrimmage yards—falling well short of his rushing and combo yardage props—Jalen Hurts more than made up for it. The Super Bowl LIX MVP posted a 119.7 passer rating, completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing 11 times for 72 yards and a signature tush push score. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith hauled in the touchdown passes, exposing Kansas City’s struggling secondary, which had no answers for Philadelphia’s balanced attack. The Eagles put on a clinic from the outset, and had Nick Sirianni not eased up in the second half, the final margin could have been even more lopsided.

Vic Fangio absolutely deserved a game ball for the defensive masterclass he orchestrated in Super Bowl LIX. With Josh Sweat and company wreaking havoc without the need for extra rushers, the secondary thrived. Cooper DeJean celebrated his birthday in unforgettable fashion, logging a pick-six midway through the second quarter that blew the game wide open. The defense was so dominant that Travis Kelce didn’t record a catch until late in the third quarter. For Eagles fans, the best part is that Howie Roseman has built this team for sustained success. The only concern is whether they stay hungry or get complacent in the offseason—fat and happy is no way to defend a Super Bowl title. From an NFL betting standpoint, linemakers reveled in the 18-point Eagles victory, which wiped out all Kansas City teasers and moneyline parlays. More importantly, it erased the massive liability they carried on a Chiefs three-peat. So much for the theory that the NFL is rigged! Philly deserves all the offseason accolades after finishing an impressive 18-3 straight up and 14-7 against the spread, capping it off with their second Super Bowl victory in the last eight seasons.

Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX Recap

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated Super Bowl LIX, crushing the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to claim the franchise’s second championship. Led by a relentless defense, the Eagles sacked Patrick Mahomes six times, with Josh Sweat and his 2.5 sacks leading the charge. Rookie Cooper DeJean delivered a game-changing pick-six, and Vic Fangio’s defense shut down Travis Kelce, who was held without a catch until the third quarter. Offensively, Jalen Hurts earned Super Bowl MVP honors, throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing score on a signature tush push. Saquon Barkley, despite a quiet game (57 yards), broke Terrell Davis’ single-season rushing record, including playoffs. A.J. Brown (12-yard TD) and DeVonta Smith (46-yard TD) capitalized on short fields created by turnovers, helping Philadelphia build a commanding 24-0 halftime lead. Kansas City, aiming for a historic three-peat, was overwhelmed from the start. Mahomes’ first career playoff pick-six and another interception by Zack Baun sealed the Chiefs’ fate. Andy Reid’s squad struggled with penalties and turnovers, while the Eagles controlled every phase of the game. Nick Sirianni, once criticized, silenced doubters with a decisive victory, cementing Philadelphia’s place atop the NFL for the second time in the last eight seasons.

2024 Philadelphia Eagles Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1933, the Philadelphia Eagles have only four NFL championships in their history, including one Super Bowl title. Since the formation of the Super Bowl for the 1966 season, the Eagles have three appearances. Of course, the 2017 season will go down as the most historic in Eagles’ history. That year, behind backup quarterback Nick Foles, the Eagles went on an improbable run that ended with a Super Bowl upset win over the New England Patriots.

Until the late 1970s, the Eagles were out more than in. But head coach Dick Vermeil changed that with Ron Jaworski, Harold Carmichael, and a tough Eagles team. The 1980 Eagles won the NFC title but were dominated in a Super Bowl loss against the Oakland Raiders. Head coach Buddy Ryan led the Eagles to three consecutive playoff seasons from 1988 to 1990 but could never reach the Super Bowl. Those Eagles teams were known for bone-cracking defenses and quarterback Randall Cunningham.

Since 2000 the Eagles have been one of the NFL’s most consistent winners. Philadelphia has missed the NFL Playoffs just eight times. Head coach Andy Reid was the man that began this era of success. Reid led the Eagles to the 2004 NFC title, but Philadelphia lost the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots. Doug Pederson was the head coach who finally got the Eagles their elusive Super Bowl championship in 2017 with a 13-3 campaign. Nick Sirianni is still looking to mimic that feat with the team losing Super Bowl LVII to the Chiefs and bowing out twice in the Wild Card Round since taking over the reins back in 2021.
