There hasn’t been a team to repeat as NFC East division winners since 2004 — back when the Philadelphia Eagles won it four years in a row —, but the 2025 team was able to break that streak and officially clinch the NFC East title with their Week 16 win over the Commanders. As players left the field on Saturday night, many celebrated the feat that’s taken more than 20 years to achieve.
Along with clinching the NFC East, the Eagles also knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs entirely — which is always exciting — and have locked up at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC. There’s still a path for this Philly team to finish the season as the No. 2 seed, but a lot of things within the NFC North would need to happen for that outcome.
Under Nick Sirianni, the Eagles don’t typically look too far ahead or make goals further than winning their next game, but Jalen Hurts admitted that being the first team to repeat in over 20 years was something they were definitely mindful of as the opportunity approached.
Hurts can put his back-to-back NFC East Champions t-shirt somewhere next to his Super Bowl ring, and maybe one day, he’ll finally be able to relish in his long, and growing, list of career accomplishments.
