The Philadelphia Eagles endured a gut-wrenching conclusion to their 2023 season. After a stellar 10–1 start that positioned them as NFC frontrunners, they spiraled down the stretch, losing five of their final six regular-season games and suffering a decisive playoff defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
For a team that had reached the Super Bowl just a year earlier, the collapse was a bitter disappointment. Offensive tackle Lane Johnson emphasized the team’s resolve to bounce back in 2024, citing last season’s disappointing finish as a powerful motivation.
“Last year, those last seven games didn’t reflect who we really were, and we didn’t fix it. We’re hungry to correct that,” Johnson remarked during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
Acknowledging the failure to right the ship last year, Johnson highlighted the extensive offseason efforts aimed at redemption: “We’ve put in the work. We’re determined to erase that bitter taste and get back on track.”
The Eagles face a daunting path ahead, with the San Francisco 49ers leading the NFC and emerging teams like the Detroit Lions eyeing the throne. Their quest for redemption kicks off with a pivotal season opener in Brazil against the Green Bay Packers, offering the first opportunity to prove they’ve turned the page on last season’s disappointments.
