The Eagles fell short of defending the throne after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round. It was a winnable game, but the Eagles collapsed in the fourth quarter. What made it worse was that they played in front of their home fans at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Giants are poised to become the first team to make an official head coaching hire in 2026. John Harbaugh is finalizing an agreement to head to New York.
