Philadelphia Eagles

0-0Power Rank#90

AI Summary

The Eagles enter 2026 reshaped after trading star WR A.J. Brown to New England and replacing longtime OC Kevin Patullo with first-time play-caller Sean Mannion, whose Shanahan-tree scheme (more under center, motion, and play-action) is a significant departure for Jalen Hurts. Nick Sirianni has also leaned into a new 'accountability' culture push amid persistent hot-seat chatter, while a hamstring-plagued receiver corps (DeVonta Smith, rookie Makai Lemon, Britain Covey) has been a training camp headache. Despite the turnover, oddsmakers still list Philadelphia among the NFC's top contenders (roughly +1800 Super Bowl odds), reflecting a roster that has won 11-plus games in four straight seasons even as it retools on offense.
