Repeating as Super Bowl champions is one of the toughest things an NFL team can do, but the Philadelphia Eagles are facing that situation in 2025. Luckily for them, they have the formula to make it happen: change nothing.
That's been the message all offseason from the Eagles: to ensure they are doing everything the same as they did last year. There's a reason this team lost just three games all year and won the Super Bowl, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown echoed those same sentiments while speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
"The process is still the same," Brown said via NFL.com. "I am very blessed and fortunate to achieve and to win the Super Bowl as a team, but the process of the daily grind stays the same. Once you kind of look at it through that lens, you've just got to go back to work. All that stuff is over with. I like to say, you know, the Lombardi, she's not loyal. She's not loyal. So, we got to do what we got to do again, try to win her over again."
Brown couldn't have said it better even if he wanted to
This was a team that boasted the number one defensive unit in the NFL and had a top-10 offense led by their stellar season from Saquon Barkley. Eagles fans can't forget the impact Brown had on the passing game with his 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games.
Philly's perfect mindset is a big credit to the culture that head coach Nick Sirianni has instilled in this football team. Sirianni has been preaching the message, "Treat praise like perfume. Sniff it, don’t drink it—it’s poison.”
The Eagles have done a great job of not letting the success and publicity of winning a Super Bowl get in their heads. They know they still have a job to do if they want to repeat as champions.
Whether they can become the 10th team in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowls is a whole other question that won't be answered for a while.
