The 2013 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 81st in the National Football League (NFL) and their first under head coach Chip Kelly.

Tom Gamble was named Vice-president of Player Personnel on February 13, a position that had been vacant since Ryan Grigson left to become general manager of the Indianapolis Colts.

The Eagles started their 2013 season with a Monday Night divisional clash on the road against the Washington Redskins.

In the fourth quarter, it was all Skins as RG3 found Leonard Hankerson on a 10-yard touchdown pass (with a failed two-point conversion) for a 33–20 game.

The Eagles took the ball next and stormed 75 yards in 5 plays, driving to the Chargers 2, but kicked a field goal.

On Philadelphia's first possession, Michael Vick was intercepted by Eric Berry, on a pass intended for Brent Celek, who returned it 38 yards for a touchdown.

After a Chiefs punt, Michael Vick busted off a 61-yard run, setting up his 22-yard touchdown pass to Jason Avant.

With less than a minute remaining in the first quarter the Eagles drove into Chiefs territory, but Vick was sacked by Justin Houston and fumbled.

Two field goals by Ryan Succop was the only scoring of the second quarter, giving the Chiefs a 16–6 halftime lead.

However, Kansas City struck the decisive blow with a 15-play, 73-yard drive, taking 8:15 off the clock and Ryan Succop adding his fourth field goals making the score 26–16.

On their next drive, Michael Vick completed a 19-yard pass on third-and-10, but guard Todd Herremans was called for holding making it third-and-20 at their own 21.

Finally, a strip sack by Justin Houston with recovering for Kansas City, sealed the deal.

On the ensuing kickoff Trindon Holliday returned the kick 105 yards for a touchdown, extending the lead to 14–3.

The Eagles then engineered a 15-play, 73-yard drive to the 7-yard line, but the Broncos kept them out of the end zone and Henery kicked a 25-yard field goal.

Denver responded by marching 80 yards in 11 plays in a drive that took over 6 minutes off the clock and increased the lead to 21–13 after a Knowshon Moreno 4-yard touchdown run.

Denver started where they left off, driving 80 yards in one less play culminating in Manning's 1-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas.

The Broncos forced the Eagles to punt again, but Steven Johnson blocked it and returned it 17 yards for a touchdown, making the score 49–13.

The Eagles finally managed to avoid punting on their next drive, but Henery missed a 46-yard field goal.

The Eagles managed to march 80 yards on their next drive with Nick Foles hitting Jeff Maehl for a 6-yard touchdown pass to close the scoring.

Nick Foles was injured again, so Michael Vick was reinserted into the starting role, but after a few series, Matt Barkley took his place.

Nick Foles tied an NFL record in this game with seven touchdown passes as the Eagles beat the Raiders 49–20.

Nick Foles threw three touchdown passes in this game, and the Eagles defense intercepted Scott Tolzien twice.

A shot to the end zone by Robert Griffin III was intercepted by Brandon Boykin, clinching an Eagles win.

In a blinding snowstorm, with at least eight inches of snow on the field by the end of the game, LeSean McCoy broke the Eagles' single-game rushing record with 217 yards on the ground.

With the convincing win, the Eagles improved to 9–6, and would face their archrivals, the Dallas Cowboys, the following Sunday night for the division title.

They were also the third team in a row to defeat the Cowboys in the last game of the regular season on Sunday Night Football (Giants, 2011 and Redskins, 2012).
