The Philadelphia Eagles finished the 2025 regular season with an 11‑6 record, earning the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs and a wild‑card matchup against the No. 6 seeded San Francisco 49ers. Philadelphia claimed the NFC East with the league’s top division record and enters the postseason with a mix of high‑end playmakers on both sides of the ball.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts led the Eagles’ passing attack, completing 294 of 454 attempts (64.8 percent) for 3,224 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions over 16 games. Hurts’ efficiency and experience helped stabilize the offense and provided a consistent threat whether dropping back or extending plays with his legs.
Running back Saquon Barkley emerged as the team’s workhorse on the ground, rushing 280 times for 1,140 yards and 7 touchdowns, averaging 71.3 rushing yards per game. Barkley also contributed as a receiver, finishing with 273 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, giving Philadelphia a dynamic one‑two threat out of the backfield.
In the receiving game, DeVonta Smith paced the Eagles with 77 receptions for 1,008 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging 59.3 yards per game. A.J. Brown was right behind him with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and 7 touchdowns, providing a powerful complementary presence. Tight end Dallas Goedert added 60 catches for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns, ranking among the NFC’s most productive tight ends in scoring despite fewer total yards.
Other contributors included Saquon Barkley (as a receiver), Jahan Dotson, and Tank Bigsby out of the backfield, giving the Eagles multiple options to sustain drives and create mismatches.
Defensively, linebacker Zack Baun led the team with 123 total tackles, while Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship anchored the secondary. Jalyx Hunt contributed 6.5 sacks and 3 interceptions, ranking among the team leaders in both pass rush and takeaways. The Eagles combined timely pressure and opportunistic defense to support an offense capable of scoring 42 total touchdowns.
Philadelphia’s balanced offensive totals, combined with strong individual performances from Hurts, Barkley, Smith, Brown, and Goedert, helped the team secure home‑field advantage for their first playoff game.
The Eagles will host the 49ers in the wild‑card round as they aim to leverage their depth in skill positions and a physical running game to advance deeper into the postseason.
