Eagles' Bye Week: A Mixed Bag of Awards and Predictions
With their bye week underway, the Philadelphia Eagles have the chance to recharge before heading into their next three games. Here are 10 awards that reflect the team's performance so far this season.
The 'Oh, Thanks!' Award Goes to Panthers and Vikings
While the Packers and Lions were expected to dominate their matchups against the Panthers and Vikings, respectively, both teams ended up losing. The Eagles now sit atop the NFC with a 6-2 record, making them the top seed in the conference.
The All Streaks Come To An End Award Recognizes the NFL's Struggling Divisions
The last time a team repeated as NFC East division winners was back in 2004, a feat that has been rare for the division over the past two decades. The Eagles are well-positioned to take the title this season.
Jalen Hurts Emerge as MVP Contender
Quarterback Jalen Hurts has completed an impressive 70.2% of his passes and boasts 20 total touchdowns against just one interception. He's right in contention for the league's top award, despite having some stiff competition from other talented players.
Stars Beginning To Shine: Saquon Barkley and Jalen Carter
Despite injuries and inconsistencies, wide receiver Saquon Barkley and defensive tackle Jalen Carter have shown flashes of brilliance this season. The Eagles are fortunate to have these two talented players on their roster.
Maybe He's Not Satan Award for Kevin Patullo
Patullo has faced criticism for the team's lackluster offense, but recent performances suggest that he may be getting back on track. If his play calling and scheme can continue to impress, Eagles fans may find themselves forgiving him of past transgressions.
Comparisons to the 2023 Team: A Misguided Effort
The 2025 season has been compared to the infamous 2023 team that collapsed down the stretch. However, there are significant differences between this year's squad and last year's disaster. The Eagles have already righted their ship after two tough losses, and it remains to be seen how they'll perform in the second half of the season.
The Soon-To-Be Healthy Eagles
Several key players who missed Week 8 due to injury will return for the team's next three games, including A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens, Nolan Smith, and Brandon Graham.
Howie Claus Award for Howie Roseman
General Manager Howie Roseman made a few trades that might be considered unremarkable by some, but they've brought in talented players like Michael Carter and Jaire Alexander. While the moves may not have been earth-shattering, they demonstrate Roseman's commitment to building a strong team.
The Gauntlet, Part II Award: The Eagles' Next Three Games
The Eagles face three tough opponents – the Packers, Lions, and Cowboys – before their bye week. These games will serve as a test of their strength and resolve.
A.J. Brown: The 'Who You Gonna Be?' Award
Tight end A.J. Brown has been vocal about his desire for more involvement in the team's offense. While he remains an elite talent, it's unclear how much impact he'll have on the team's success this season. If he can regain his form and find joy playing with Jalen Hurts, Eagles fans will be thrilled to see him take center stage once again.

anyway i guess the eagles' current form is definitely a step up from last year... and yay for awards 
but let's not get too ahead of ourselves, they do have some tough games coming up 
... i mean, the guy's been bad but he's not that good either? wouldn't have gotten a nickname if he was doing better than mediocrity 
. also, 70.2% completion rate from Hurts is cool and all, but how many of those passes are actually going to big plays? 
! The Eagles are in a good spot right now and it's awesome to see all these talented players stepping up their game 
. Jalen Hurts is looking like an MVP candidate, Saquon Barkley is showing flashes of brilliance and A.J. Brown needs to find his mojo again 
. Can't wait to see how the team does against those tough opponents coming up... Packers, Lions and Cowboys, oh my! 
I'm lovin' the Eagles' chances in the NFC right now! They're killin' it with a 6-2 record and are lookin' pretty strong for the playoffs. Jalen Hurts is on fire, and Saquon Barkley's flashin' brilliance is so exciting to watch! 
The fact that they've got some key players comin' back from injury is like a weight liftin' off their shoulders 
Can't wait to see how they stack up against those tough games comin' up, especially the Packers and Cowboys! 
think jalen hurts is for real he's on another level this season and if eagles can keep him healthy they're basically unstoppable
. But seriously, Jalen Hurts is looking pretty solid as a QB right now 
... they're definitely making a big impact for the Eagles 
. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out, especially with A.J. Brown coming back from injury 
! 
I mean, what's up with the awards section? It feels like they're just throwing a bunch of tokens at the team for showing up. "Oh, thanks!" to the Panthers and Vikings for losing? 
And the "All Streaks Come To An End" award? That's not an award, that's just a statement of fact. The division title is what matters, not some nostalgic nod to 2004. Can't we get more substance behind these awards? 
? but for real though, Howie Roseman's trades have been solid, and A.J. Brown needs to chill out and let Jalen Hurts do his thing 
. With all these awards going their way, it's clear they're on top of the NFC hierarchy #EaglesNation. I think Jalen Hurts is lighting up the league right now 
. The team has righted the ship and now they get to recharge for their next three games, which is a huge plus 
.
! 6-2 is a great record, especially considering their toughest matchups coming up. I think Jalen Hurts is def a top contender for MVP this year 
. Bring on those next three games and let's see how far this team can go 
!
Those guys have got some serious potential. Howie Roseman's trades are looking like a solid move too 
!
