Saquon Barkley’s illegal shift on a crucial fourth-down try and Jalen Hurts’ admission that the play clock slipped defined a tough Denver loss. A DeVonta Smith 30-yard connection would’ve put Philly ahead, but the penalty and a late punt left the Eagles with too little time. Barkley and Hurts owned the miscues; Sirianni urged team-wide improvement and faster operation.

Philadelphia grinded out a 31-25 win in Tampa, overcoming a second-half offensive drought and a rash of penalties. Hurts lit the game with a blistering first half (15-of-16) but went cold in the second, while the defense and special teams provided the difference with Jihaad Campbell’s early forced fumbles and a late end-zone pick, Moro Ojomo’s sack, and Sydney Brown’s TD off Cam Latu’s blocked punt. Dallas Goedert’s two shovel-pass touchdowns kept Philly ahead; Braden Mann sealed it with a final safety as time expired.

Philadelphia edged Dallas 24-20 in the season opener, doing so without Jalen Carter after an early ejection for spitting on Dak Prescott. The win keeps Philly rolling and tests their depth up front as they adapt on the fly.

Miles Sanders jump-started Dallas’s ground attack with a 49-yard burst and finished 4 carries for 53 yards, but a red-zone fumble kept the door open for the Eagles. Jihaad Campbell shined in his first NFL start with three tackles and a pass defended, Byron Young forced a fumble, A.J. Brown was quiet until late, and Braden Mann supplied the special-teams spark with booming punts inside the 20 and a critical long punt.

The Pittsburgh Steelers boast eight former players participating in Super Bowl LIX, showcasing a mix of talent from their past. Among the notable names are three starters representing the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. The highly anticipated rematch sees Kansas City pursuing a three-peat while the Eagles aim for redemption after their last encounter. Key players such as Kenny Pickett, who famously took the final knee in the NFC Championship game as a member of the Eagles, highlight the strong connection to the Steelers.

On the Eagles side, offensive linemen Fred Johnson and Le'Raven Clark join punter Braden Mann, all in pursuit of a championship. JuJu Smith-Schuster aims for his second Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs, having previously secured one against the Eagles. Additionally, former Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson remains hopeful for his first ring while on the Chiefs' practice squad. As the teams prepare to clash on February 9 in New Orleans, the impact of the former Steelers will be felt on both sides.

The Philadelphia Eagles achieved a franchise-record-tying 14th victory with a 20-13 win against the New York Giants in their regular-season finale. The game, played in frigid January conditions at Lincoln Financial Field, saw the Eagles rest many starters due to already securing the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. Third-string quarterback Tanner McKee led the Eagles with two touchdown passes, while safety Sydney Brown sealed the win with an interception.

This victory not only highlighted the Eagles' depth but also marked their strong finish to the 14-3 season, preparing them for a wildcard playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
