NFL executives rank the Philadelphia Eagles third in the NFC
Summary

NFL executives listed the Philadelphia Eagles as the third-ranked team in the NFC, placing them behind the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. This ranking follows the team’s 11-6 finish in the 2025 season and their loss in the wild-card round. Personnel additions including Riq Woolen and Jonathan Greenard, combined with the leadership of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, anchor the team's standing among league evaluators. Concerns persist regarding the offense following the departure of A.J. Brown and questions about the health of the offensive line. Head coach Nick Sirianni maintains a successful postseason track record, including two Super Bowl appearances in four seasons. The organization's primary objective remains playoff success as the 2026 season begins.
