At 8-1, the are the best team at  Jaylen Nowell Jersey the midway point of the 2023 season. That alone might be enough for some to project a second straight bid by Philadelphia. But history also points in the Birds' favor when it comes to a potential title run. using Pro Football Reference data, the Eagles are just the fourth team in the last three decades to start consecutive seasons with an 8-1 record. In each of the previous three  Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Jersey instances, those 8-1 teams went on to win the Super Bowl in the second year.The did it first in 1994-95, the won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1996-97, and the did it again in 2005-06. The Eagles, who didn't suffer their first lo s until Week 10 in 2022, beat the Cowboys on Sunday to improve to 8-1, becoming the first team to hit that mark in consecutive years since Indianapolis.History, of course, has no bearing on what occurs to the 2023 Eagles between now and February. But it speaks to the talent Philadelphia has a sembled; even though the team hasn't nece sarily cruised to its 8-1 record this Anthony Edwards Jersey  year, its performance since the start of 2022 is Ashton Hagans Jersey  on par with former Super Bowl champions and dynasties. Under head coach Nick Sirianni, with a star-studded lineup built by personnel chief Howie Roseman, the Eagles are 24-4-1 since the start of 2022, including playoffs.  Also on the Eagles' side: franchise history. The team has now started 8-1 six different times since the club's founding in 1933. The five previous times, the Eagles either reached the championship or won it.
