They improved on their 4–11–1 record from the previous season after a 40–29 win against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11 and returned to the playoffs after a one-year absence.

The Eagles went on to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, but lost by a score of 31–15 to the defending champions.

After an Atlanta field goal, the Eagles would take the lead after an 18 yard pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith and never looked back.

The Eagles would start the game being able to march down the field throughout the first half, including a 91 yard bomb from Jalen Hurts to Quez Watkins.

The Eagles defense made a play by stripping the ball from Dak Prescott in their own endzone resulting in a touchdown from Fletcher Cox.

The Eagles survived a late rally by the Saints to earn their first home win since Week 14 of the 2020 season, which coincidentally also came against New Orleans.

Thanks to a stellar performance by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, the Eagles improved to 12–0 in their all-time series against the New York Jets.

Despite a slow start, the Eagles rallied with 31 second-half points in a 34-10 rout of the shorthanded New York Giants, including a touchdown catch by Lane Johnson and a pick-six by Alex Singleton.

With a playoff spot already clinched, the Eagles rested Jalen Hurts, who was nursing an ankle injury, and most other key starters in the season finale.

Brady marched the Bucs to two first quarter touchdown drives, while Hurts struggled to move the ball against the Tampa defense.

Trying to get the Eagles back into the game, Hurts drove the offense to the Tampa 21-yard line late in the half, but a pass intended for DeVonta Smith was intercepted in the end zone.

The Eagles defense stopped the Bucs on their first drive of the third quarter, but Jalen Reagor muffed the punt, and Brady turned the opportunity into short touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski.

Hurts was intercepted again on the ensuing drive, and Brady laced a 36-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans on the next play to it 31–0 Bucs.

Hurts completed a 14-yard touchdown to rookie Kenneth Gainwell on the next drive, then found Smith for a successful 2-point conversion to close the scoring at 31–15.

Dallas Goedert caught six passes for 92 yards, while defensive end Ryan Kerrigan, coming off a disappointing season for the Eagles and playing in his last game as a professional, tallied 1.5 sacks of Brady.
