The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are poised to make a statement in their 2025 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, Sept. 4 — and every metric points toward another dominant performance by the Birds.

Twenty years later, Kenny Pickett appeared in his first career Super Bowl while playing for his hometown team.

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts isn't letting the team's Super Bowl win last season affect his motivation to chase another ring.

Jalen Hurts was approached with a question this week during training camp that mad him ponder a bit before answering. He proved a bunch of doubters wrong last season after outplaying Patrick Mahomes during the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl 59 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and has refused to wear his title ring this offseason after his MVP performance.

A roller-coaster ride... That's how former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson described winning a Super Bowl and the days and months that follow reaching football's summit. He would know. He's the only man living or deceased who can claim to be the first head coach to lead Philadelphia to its first Lombardi Trophy.

Gary Zimmer and Lisa Cain from Bryn Mawr decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of watching the Eagles in the Super Bowl live and in person. "It's going to be a little over $20,000," said Gary Zimmer.
