2023 Philadelphia Eagles season

The 2023 season is the Philadelphia Eagles' 91st season in the National Football League (NFL) and their third under head coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles enter the season as defending NFC Champions. They will attempt to improve upon their 14–3 record from the previous year and defend their NFC East title, something no NFC East team has done since the Eagles themselves won four consecutive NFC East titles from 2001 to 2004, where they made it to Super Bowl XXXIX.

at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Game information

On a rainy opening day, the Eagles would come out of the gates strong with 16 unanswered points which included a 32 yard field goal from Jake Elliott, a Darius Slay 70 yard pick 6 and a 5 yard TD pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith. New England would rally back with a pair of TD passes from Mac Jones to Hunter Henry and Kendrick Bourne. In the second half, Jake Elliott would kick 3 field goals from 56, 48, and 51. The Patriots would march down the field late in the 4th quarter and score a TD pass from Jones to Bourne again making the score 25-20. A Jalen Hurts fumble and turnover on downs gave the Patriots 2 more shots for the go ahead TD. On 4th-and-11 with 24 seconds left in the game, Jones appeared to complete a pass to Kayshon Boutte to set up 1st-and-goal for the Patriots at the Eagles 7-yard line before Boutte was forced out of bounds by Josh Jobe. However, the pass was ruled incomplete after the replay showed that Boutte did not get both feet inbounds after catching the ball, therefore resulting in a turnover on downs, and the Eagles would win their season opener for the third straight year (all on the road) and their seventh in the last eight seasons.

Game information

Week 2 would be a mirror image of the Birds week 2 match up from a year ago and taking on the Minnesota Vikings. The Eagles would strike first on a 24 yard Jake Elliot field goal. In the second quarter, the Vikings would get on the board with a 5 yard TD pass from Kirk Cousins to T.J. Hockenson. The Eagles would punch back with a Jalen Hurts "tush push" 1 yard TD. The Vikings would march down the field with Cousins hitting a wide open Justin Jefferson. On the play, Jefferson was diving towards the pylon. However, in doing so, the ball would come loose from his hand prior to going over the plain and would go out of bounds in the endzone resulting in a touchback. Under a minute remaining, the Eagles would march down to set up Jake Elliott for a 61 yard field goal. It would tie as his longest career field goal made and put the birds up 13-7 at the half. On the opening second half drive, the Eagles would march down the field again and Jalen Hurts would score his second TD on the day with another "tush push." The Eagles would once again get the ball back on a Vikings turnover and Jalen Hurts would hit DeVonta Smith for a 63 yard TD putting the Eagles up 27-7. The Vikings would fight back on a pair of TDs from the Vikings making the score 27-21. The Eagles would rush their way down the field and would top it off with a 2 yard D'Andre Swift TD. Keeping things interesting, the Vikings would quickly march down field and score a TD of their own from Cousins to Hockenson making the score 34-28. The Vikings would get the ball back one more time in a Hail Mary effort, but would fall short. The game was noted on the 4 Viking turnovers caused by the Eagles defense and the Eagles vicious rushing attack mainly coming from Swift who had 175 yards on the ground. The Eagles would come out 2-0 for the second straight year.

Game information

In a back-and-forth thriller that featured many lead changes in the fourth quarter, the Eagles defeated their division rival in overtime. This win, along with a Miami Dolphins loss to the Buffalo Bills, allowed Philadelphia to become one of only two unbeaten teams remaining, the other being the San Francisco 49ers, who defeated the Arizona Cardinals later that day.

Game information

The Eagles entered their Week 6 matchup with the New York Jets as the lone remaining undefeated team in the league, thanks to the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Cleveland Browns just moments after the kickoff. Philadelphia raced out to a 14–3 lead in the in the second quarter, but the game would quickly fall apart for the Eagles from there as the Jets continued to chip away at the lead over the remainder of the game. With their lead down to 14–12 at the two-minute warning, Jalen Hurts was picked off by Tony Adams, and gave the Jets an opportunity to win the game. Breece Hall scored the go-ahead touchdown for New York on the very next play, and Philadelphia failed to respond on their final drive, allowing the Jets to run the clock out. The Eagles fell to 5–1 on the season with the 20–14 upset loss. It also marked Philadelphia's first ever loss to the New York Jets in thirteen regular-season meetings.

Game information

The Eagles returned to Lincoln Finacial Field to face the AFC East-leading Miami Dolphins. Philadelphia wore its Kelly Green alternate uniforms for the first time since 2010. After trading field goals with the Dolphins in the first quarter, the Eagles would jump out to a 17–3 lead on a Dallas Goedert touchdown reception, followed by a Jalen Hurts quarterback sneak. Tyreek Hill would close the gap to seven points before halftime with a 27-yard touchdown reception. The teams traded punts to start the second half, before the Eagles forced a turnover on downs on a controversial play where James Bradberry appeared to grab the face mask of Cedrick Wilson Jr., but no penalty was called. A game-tying 22-yard pick six by Jerome Baker almost immediately after the controversial call seemed to turn the momentum in Miami's favor. However, the Eagles would retake the lead for good on the very next possession with a 14-yard touchdown reception by A. J. Brown, and would add a Kenneth Gainwell touchdown run in the fourth quarter. With the 31–17 win, the Eagles improved to 6–1 on the season, and became the top team in the conference when the San Francisco 49ers lost to the Minnesota Vikings the following night.
