When you talk about the best teams in football, you're talking about teams that can do it all. Score points. Stop points. Dominate both sides of the ball.
Since 2022, only two teams in the entire NFL have managed to:
- Score 2,000+ points
- Allow fewer than 1,600 points
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of them.
What This Stat Means
This isn't just about being good. It's about being consistently elite on both sides of the ball over a four-year stretch. That's 68 regular season games. That's weathering injuries, roster turnover, coaching changes around the league, and the constant parity the NFL is designed to create.
And through all of it, the Eagles have remained dominant.
The Offensive Machine
Philadelphia's offense has been a juggernaut since 2022. The formula has been clear:
- Elite offensive line - Arguably the best in football, anchored by Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Lane Johnson
- Dual-threat QB - Jalen Hurts' ability to run and throw keeps defenses guessing
- Explosive playmakers - A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley create mismatches everywhere
- Run-first mentality - The Eagles run the ball more than almost anyone, controlling time of possession and wearing down defenses
The result? Over 2,000 points in four seasons. That's an average of 31+ points per game over 68 games.
The Defensive Evolution
The defense has been the bigger story. After some struggles in 2023, the Eagles completely transformed their unit:
- Vic Fangio's system - The veteran coordinator brought discipline and scheme versatility
- Pass rush dominance - Jalen Carter, Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith, and now Jonathan Greenard
- Secondary upgrades - Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Riq Woolen have transformed the back end
- Linebacker play - Zack Baun's breakout and Nakobe Dean's development
Allowing fewer than 1,600 points over four seasons means holding opponents to under 24 points per game on average. In today's high-scoring NFL, that's remarkable.
The Company They Keep
Only one other team has achieved this balance since 2022. That puts the Eagles in rare air - the kind of sustained excellence that defines championship-caliber organizations.
This isn't a one-year wonder. This isn't a fluke. This is a franchise that has built something special and maintained it.
What It Means for 2026
As the Eagles enter 2026, the foundation remains strong. The offensive line is intact. The skill positions are loaded. The defense has young stars emerging.
The goal isn't just to make the playoffs. It's to add another Lombardi Trophy to the case. And when you're elite on both sides of the ball, that goal is very much in reach.
2,000+ points scored. Fewer than 1,600 allowed. That's Eagles football.
