(Redirected from 2021 Philadelphia Eagles)
89th season in franchise history
The 2021 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 89th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their first under head coach Nick Sirianni. They improved on their 4–11–1 record from the previous season after a 40–29 win against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11 and returned to the playoffs after a one-year absence. This was the Eagles' first season since 2015 without quarterback Carson Wentz, as he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in March 2021.
Philadelphia entered the season with low expectations following a disastrous 4-11-1 2020 season that resulted in the firing of Super Bowl champion head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles started the 2021 season slowly with a 2–5 record. However, things turned around and the Eagles went 7–2 in their next 9 games and clinched a playoff berth after a one-year absence. The Eagles finished tied with the New Orleans Saints for the last Wild Card spot, but won the tiebreaker based on their Week 11 head-to-head victory over the Saints. The Eagles went on to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, but lost by a score of 31–15 to the defending champions.
Despite the 9–8 record, the Eagles did not beat any team that made the playoffs in the 2021 season, going 0–6. New Orleans was the only team with a winning record that the Eagles beat during the season.

The Eagles traveled down to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys would jump on the board quickly after an Ezekiel Elliott 1 yard TD. The Eagles defense made a play by stripping the ball from Dak Prescott in their own endzone resulting in a touchdown from Fletcher Cox. From that point on, the Dallas offense had its way on the Eagles defense and didn't get any help from a pass heavy Eagles offense that could not gain much momentum. The Eagles would get a couple of garbage time TDs from Jalen Hurts to Zach Ertz and Greg Ward. With the loss, the Eagles would fall to 1-2 and lose their 4th straight game at AT&T Stadium.

In the week leading up to the game, a COVID-19 outbreak among the Washington Football Team led to postponement of the game originally scheduled for December 19. The game was moved to Tuesday night. On the rare Tuesday Night Football, Washington got off to a quick start after a pair of Eagles turnovers starting from a flukey interception bouncing off of Dallas Goedert's foot to a Jalen Hurts' fumble. From the second quarter on, the Eagles would score 20 unanswered points before surrendering a Washington TD. A late back shoulder throw from Jalen Hurts to Greg Ward would secure the Eagles' victory. This is the first divisional win in the Hurts/Sirianni era and a win that keeps the Eagles alive in the playoff push.

Despite again playing less-than-stellar football to start the game, the Eagles rallied for their fourth straight win, improving to 9-7 on the year and earning their first winning season and playoff appearance since 2019, thanks to wins by the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers later that day. This was also Philadelphia's first sweep of Washington since that same season, and their fourth in their past five seasons.

With a playoff spot already clinched, the Eagles rested Jalen Hurts, who was nursing an ankle injury, and most other key starters in the season finale. The Cowboys, who played nearly all of their key starters, had an offensive attack that was too powerful for the Eagles' backups to handle. The 51–26 loss ended the Eagles' regular season with a 9–8 record, and the 51 points were the most the Eagles surrendered in a single game at Lincoln Financial Field, surpassing the previous mark of 48 against the New Orleans Saints in 2009.

The Eagles travelled to take on the #2 seed and defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay would jump out to an early lead and never look back in a 31-15 rout of Philadelphia. The game would mark the first career playoff appearances for Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts, and would be the final playoff victory for Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady.
Brady marched the Bucs to two first quarter touchdown drives, while Hurts struggled to move the ball against the Tampa defense. A Ryan Succop 34-yard field goal early in the second quarter pushed the Tampa lead to 17–0. Trying to get the Eagles back into the game, Hurts drove the offense to the Tampa 21-yard line late in the half, but a pass intended for DeVonta Smith was intercepted in the end zone. The Eagles defense stopped the Bucs on their first drive of the third quarter, but Jalen Reagor muffed the punt, and Brady turned the opportunity into short touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski. Hurts was intercepted again on the ensuing drive, and Brady laced a 36-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans on the next play to it 31–0 Bucs. Early in the fourth quarter, Smith gained 31 yards on a catch-and-run, and Boston Scott scampered 34 yards for a touchdown on the following play to get the Eagles on the board. Hurts completed a 14-yard touchdown to rookie Kenneth Gainwell on the next drive, then found Smith for a successful 2-point conversion to close the scoring at 31–15.
Tampa boasted after the game that Hurts was unable to read their defense. He finished with 258 yards passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. Dallas Goedert caught six passes for 92 yards, while defensive end Ryan Kerrigan, coming off a disappointing season for the Eagles and playing in his last game as a professional, tallied 1.5 sacks of Brady.
