Eagles ranked as top contender to challenge Seahawks for Super Bowl

As of July 4, 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles are identified as a leading candidate to dethrone the Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl champions. The Eagles faced an early playoff exit last season against the 49ers and are looking to improve with a revamped roster, including new wide receivers. Quarterback Jalen Hurts needs to enhance his performance, particularly given his negative EPA ratings in the latter part of the last season. Philadelphia's defense, guided by Vic Fangio, demonstrated strong performance last year and remains a key component of their strategy. The Eagles will play the Seahawks in December, which could be pivotal for playoff positioning.
