Two weeks. That’s all it took to flip the narrative in Philadelphia.
Just 14 days ago, the Eagles were riding high at 8-2, fresh off four straight wins and looking like the class of the NFC. Fast forward to now, and the mood has shifted. After back-to-back losses, Philly sits at 8-4, and questions are starting to pile up almost as fast as the pressure.
The Eagles have gone from leading the NFC to looking up at teams like the Rams and Bears in the conference standings. And in the NFC East?
The Cowboys are suddenly making a strong case to be considered the new front-runners. That’s how fast things move in the NFL-momentum is a luxury, and right now, the Eagles don’t have much of it.
There’s no sugarcoating it: Sunday’s home loss to the Bears was ugly. The kind of loss that makes you wonder if this team is slipping into a late-season swoon, much like what we saw in 2023. But amid the frustration, there was at least one voice trying to steady the ship.
Cam Jurgens, speaking to the media postgame, didn’t give a long-winded speech. He didn’t need to.
“The sky is still above us. We win four and lose two, win four and lose two, let’s go win the next four.”
It’s simple, but it hits the right note. There’s still time.
Still a path forward. And in Philly, that kind of blue-collar optimism-rooted in resilience, not delusion-resonates.
It also echoes a familiar theme. Jason Kelce once said something similar, and it’s stuck with this fan base ever since: when the expectations are sky-high, the Eagles tend to stumble.
But when the doubts start creeping in? That’s when they often surprise us.
So here we are again. The Eagles have four games left to right the ship.
The margin for error is shrinking, but the season is far from lost. This team still has the talent, the leadership, and the experience to turn things around.
But they’ll need to do it fast-and they’ll need to do it together.
A collapse isn’t inevitable. A comeback isn’t guaranteed either.
But this stretch run? It’s going to tell us everything we need to know about the 2025-26 Philadelphia Eagles.
