The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are the two latest and strongest examples of teams that managed to stay relevant in the playoff conversation over multiple years. Sirianni hopes to add his team to this list, and with four straight playoff appearances and two Super Bowl appearances, they're certainly on their way.

The natural word to use would be "repeat." But Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni won't. Neither will any of the players. Instead, they're focusing on a different phrase. One that signifies the Eagles' expectations for excellence lasting well beyond the 2025 season, even though the Eagles are considered odds-on favorites to, ahem, repeat.

Per Pro Football Reference, Hurts finished the 2024 regular season ranked 10th in the NFL among qualified players with a 65.6 adjusted QBR, 26th with an average of 193.5 passing yards per game and tied for 20th with 18 passing touchdowns. The so-called "tush push merchant" also contributed 14 rushing touchdowns over 15 contests.
