The Philadelphia Eagles had a dominant 2024 season, finishing with 18 total wins, tying an NFL record for most total wins in a season with the 1984 San Francisco 49ers 1985 Chicago Bears, and 2007 New England Patriots. They started 2-2 but won 12 of their last 13 games, ending with a 14-3 record. They nearly swept the NFC East, crushing the Cowboys, and the Giants, but had one loss against the Washington Commanders. Fast forward to the playoffs, they beat the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round, outlasted a dangerous L.A Rams team 28-22 in the divisional round, and dismantled the Washington Commanders this time around, with 55-23 as the final score in the NFC Championship round. The Eagles broke another record on the way to the Super Bowl trophy as they scored an astounding 145 points, averaging 36.3 points-per-game, which was the most ever.<\/p>
The Eagles willed their way into the Super Bowl but they had to take on their nemesis, the Kansas City Chiefs who had previously beaten them before. Everybody favored the Chiefs to win their matchup and be crowed the first three-peat team of the NFL. Instead, the Eagles ridiculed the Chiefs, and blew them out of the building in the Super Bowl. Their defense, led by Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat sacked Mahomes six times and forced three turnovers, including a 38-yard pick-six by Cooper DeJean. Meanwhile, on the offense, Hurts played like a true MVP and Barkley’s presence alone was enough to make the Chiefs forget all about the Eagles’ passing game. The Eagles were up 24-0 at the halftime, and they remained scoreless until right around the end of the third quarter.<\/p>
