The Philadelphia Eagles will host the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round of the 2026 NFL playoffs.
The Eagles are the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs.
The Eagles went 11-6 this season. They could have been the No. 2 seed since the Chicago Bears lost to the Detroit Lions.
However, Philadelphia lost to the Washington Commanders. Head coach Nick Sirianni rested QB Jalen Hurts.
The Eagles are looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The last time Philadelphia won back-to-back championships was in 1948 and 1949.
For the Eagles to win the Super Bowl again, the offense has to get on track. Entering Week 18, Philadelphia ranked 24th in yards per game (311.5), 23rd in passing (192.3 YPG), 18th in rushing (119.3 YPG) and 19th in scoring (22.6 PPG), per ESPN.
The Eagles were also dead last in third-and-punt rate (29.2%) and 25th in first downs/touchdowns per game (18). The team failed to score a single point in the second half last week against the Buffalo Bills.
Hurts finished the 2025 season with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. Let's see how the reigning Super Bowl MVP performs in the playoffs.
