Eagles start title defense against 49ers in NFC wild-card game
PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles declared from the first day of training camp and throughout another season that included an NFC East title that the word “repeat” is not part of the locker-room vernacular for the 2024 Super Bowl champions.
“We’re not defending nothing,” offensive lineman Jordan Mailata said.
However the Eagles want to spin it, this much is true: Philadelphia is a contender to repeat.
Yes, the offense has lacked the spark of a season ago, when every snap had the promise of a spectacular play.
