For the last five seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles have alternated between losing a game in the wild-card round and making it to the Super Bowl.
So naturally, after winning Super Bowl 59 after the 2024 season, Philadelphia lost in the wild-card round to end 2025. The offseason since that loss has included a fired offensive coordinator, rampant trade rumors surrounding the Eagles' top receiver and a report indicating quarterback Jalen Hurts was to blame for the disappointing 2025 campaign.
For the Eagles to stick to the pattern and return to the Super Bowl – and perhaps win it again – in another even-numbered year, they'll need to bolster their roster in the 2026 NFL Draft. Heading into the draft, general manager Howie Roseman has set himself up for success.
