2019 Philadelphia Eagles season

The 2019 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 87th in the National Football League (NFL) and fourth under head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles acquired many key players, including wide receiver DeSean Jackson, running back Jordan Howard and defensive tackle Malik Jackson. With these offseason moves, the Eagles were listed as Super Bowl contenders. However, inconsistent play aided by injuries on both sides of the ball plagued the Eagles early in the year. Despite a 5–7 start, the Eagles won their last four games against divisional opponents and matched their 9–7 record from 2018. The Eagles clinched the NFC East division title (the second time in the Pederson/Wentz era), but were defeated by the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round by a score of 17–9.

Exact numbers of the selections from rounds 3–7 will be determined when compensatory selections are awarded at the NFL's annual spring owners' meetings.

Schedule
Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.

Week 5: vs. New York Jets
With the win, the Eagles improved to 11–0 in their all-time series against the New York Jets.

Week 13: at Miami Dolphins
In one of the most embarrassing road losses in franchise history, the Eagles blew a 28–14 3rd quarter lead and lost to the Miami Dolphins 37–31. They allowed over 365 total yards of offense, and with this loss, tied their loss total from the previous season.

Week 14: vs. New York Giants
Week 14 featured the Eagles facing the rival New York Giants, led by Eli Manning, who was taking over for an injured Daniel Jones. Following a scoreless first quarter, Manning opened the scoring with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton, giving New York a 7–0 lead. After the teams traded field goals, Manning would throw another touchdown pass to Slayton, this time from 55 yards, to build the Giants' lead to 17–3 before halftime. However, Philadelphia's defense would stifle Manning in the second half, forcing three-and-outs on four of six possessions and allowing just 30 yards total offense. The Eagles offense would step up and score 14 unanswered points over the final two-quarters to force overtime. After the Eagles won the overtime coin toss, they drove down the field and won the game on Carson Wentz's second touchdown pass of the night to Zach Ertz. With the comeback win, the Eagles improved to 6–7 on the year. Further, the Eagles won their sixth straight against the Giants, and took the lead in the all-time series for the first time in franchise history. It also marked the first time since 2006 an Eagles-Giants game would go to overtime.

Week 16: vs. Dallas Cowboys
In desperate need of a win to stay alive in the playoff race, an injury-ravaged Eagles team got revenge on the Cowboys after losing in Week 7 to them. Not only did this snap a 4-game losing streak to the Cowboys, but this resulted in the Eagles taking the lead in the NFC East for the first time all season. Furthermore, the victory improved Philadelphia to 8–7. Now all the Eagles needed was to either beat the NY Giants the very next week or have the Cowboys lose to the Redskins.

Week 17: at New York Giants
The Eagles clinched their second NFC East division title in three years with a win over the New York Giants, their seventh straight in the series dating back to the 2016 season.

NFC Wild Card Playoffs: vs. (5) Seattle Seahawks
The Eagles season ended with their first loss at home since Week 12 of the regular season, which was, coincidentally, also a 17–9 home loss to the Seahawks. They failed to score a touchdown for the first time since Week 17 of the 2017 season. Carson Wentz left the game in the first quarter with a concussion following a controversial hit by Jadeveon Clowney. No penalty was called on the play, and Wentz was later ruled out for the game. This was the Eagles' third straight home Wild Card playoff loss.
