The Philadelphia Eagles had a 14-3 record during the 2024 NFL season, and they also won its second Super Bowl title along the way. The Eagles were one of the best teams in the league all season long.
There could be a chance that they could have a hangover in 2025, but they have too much talent on the roster to have one. Will Philadelphia be one of the top teams in the NFL once again in 2025?
NFL Analyst Doesn’t Believe That the Philadelphia Eagles Will Have a Super Bowl Hangover
Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports has the Eagles as the number one ranked team in his power rankings entering the 2025 NFL season. With Philadelphia dominating the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl last season, it appears as if they may not show any signs of slowing down as a team in the future.
Schwab would be surprised if the Eagles had a Super Bowl hangover in the 2025 season. He said,
“It’s hard to imagine this Eagles team slumping like that. The defense that led the NFL in yards allowed and absolutely suffocated Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl was the youngest defense in the NFL last season. The only starters on a star-filled offense who were older than 27 years old last season were right tackle Lane Johnson and tight end Dallas Goedert. Philadelphia lost talent in the offseason, as champions often do, but no team is better suited to absorb those losses. General manager Howie Roseman has built the deepest roster in the NFL.
Saquon Barkley, who had one of the greatest running back seasons ever after signing with the Eagles, noted after the Super Bowl, “Why not start our dynasty now?” Barkley amended that statement later.
“I said after the game, ‘Why can’t our dynasty start now?’ I probably had a little bit of Champagne and other stuff in my system at the time,” Barkley said, via Michael Greger. “But you really can’t focus on that, you’ve just got to enjoy the moment. It’s hard to win one.””
Philadelphia will need to go back-to-back in order to be considered a dynasty. The Eagles players are putting last season in the past and don’t consider themselves as the defending champions. They know it is a brand-new season, and they are chasing another Lombardi Trophy.
Head coach Nick Sirianni understands that his team is being the hunted instead of being the hunters in 2025. Philadelphia will be one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season. They will also be the favorite to win the NFC East crown, but a repeat champion in that division hasn’t happened in over 20 years.
