Eagles Soar Again: Lessons Learned from 2018 Super Bowl Victory

In the aftermath of the Philadelphia Eagles' 2018 Super Bowl victory, the team faced challenges in maintaining their championship form. According to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, the organization did not plan as well for the years following the win, focusing more on the short-term rather than maximizing their long-term potential.

However, the Eagles have since made significant strides in rebuilding their roster. As of 2025, the team has a superior lineup with more young talent and a robust pipeline of draft picks. This is a stark contrast to the 2018 squad, which relied heavily on aging veterans and players recovering from major injuries.

The players have also adopted a new mindset, emphasizing a "new team, new year" approach rather than dwelling on their past success. Head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that the 2025 Eagles are not "defending" anything, but rather focused on winning another championship.

The lessons learned from the 2018 season have clearly shaped the Eagles' strategy going forward. With a healthier, younger roster and a renewed focus on the future, the team appears well-positioned to reclaim the Lombardi Trophy and establish a new era of sustained success in Philadelphia.
