Every Philadelphia Eagles fan knows how great the franchise has been over the last few years, but good have they been at home versus on the road? Turns out, not much of a difference.
FOX Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman wrote an article examining whether home-field advantage remains a factor in the NFL, analyzing which teams excel at home and on the road. Auman discovered that two NFL teams have been successful at home and on the road: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles.
"Some teams are good enough to be good everywhere. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, who have met in two of the past three Super Bowls, are perfect examples of that. Philadelphia is 24-10 at home and 24-10 on the road over the past four seasons, and Kansas City is close, going 27-7 at home and a league-best 25-9 on the road."
Last year, the Eagles had a little more success at home than on the road, with only one home loss and two losses on the road. Philadelphia proved to be a tremendous home-field advantage for the Eagles in the postseason, though, as the Birds handled their business with three consecutive wins en route to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. The Eagles outscored their opponents at home in the postseason 105-55.
Interestingly enough, the Eagles had more two-possession wins on the road (five) than at home (two). The Eagles proved to be solid road warriors against the NFL despite two losses to the Buccaneers and Commanders in their home stadiums.
2025 might be a different story with the Eagles as they will have a tough time duplicating that same success, especially on the road. Philadelphia will not be hosting the Eagles in consecutive home games this season, and the Eagles will have back-to-back road games twice.
The Eagles will be truly tested with a gauntlet of a schedule as the NFL is making them earn their Super Bowl title defense. If one thing has been proven already over the last four years by Auman, this Eagles team will find a way to get into the win column at any cost.
