The 2014 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's 82nd season in the National Football League (NFL) and the second under head coach Chip Kelly. The Eagles led the NFC East for most of the year, but when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Indianapolis Colts in week 16, they were eliminated from playoff contention.
Quarterback Nick Foles led them to a 6–2 start, despite struggling with turnovers more so than he did in 2013, where he threw only 2 interceptions and lost 1 fumble. Foles was injured in week 9, causing backup Mark Sanchez to take over as starting quarterback. The Eagles then went 4–4 in the last eight games with two losses against their division rivals, the Cowboys and Redskins.[1]
Despite missing the playoffs, they had 9 selections for the 2015 Pro Bowl, second only to the Denver Broncos, who had 11.

Signings
Trades
- On March 13, the Eagles traded their fifth round selection from the New England Patriots to the New Orleans Saints for running back Darren Sproles.
- On May 10, the Eagles traded running back Bryce Brown and a 2014 seventh-round pick (No. 237 overall) to Buffalo for a 2014 seventh-round pick (No. 224 overall) and either a 2015 fourth-round pick or a 2016 third-round pick or a 2016 fourth-round pick.
- On August 19, the Eagles Acquired RB Kenjon Barner from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2015. Barner was later cut and the Panthers would receive no compensation.
- On August 20, the Eagles Acquired kicker Cody Parkey from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for RB David Fluellen. Parkey would later win the starting kicker position.
Roster changes
On March 28, 2014, after what was the statistically best season in his career, the Eagles released wide receiver DeSean Jackson.[2] As a free agent, he signed with the Eagles' division rival, the Washington Redskins, on April 2, 2014.[3] The team made headlines when, on May 5, they signed Alejandro Villanueva, who is an Army Ranger, having served three tours of duty in Afghanistan, and has not played football since 2009.[4]
2014 draft class
Draft trades
- ^ a b c d The Eagles traded their original first-round selection (No. 22 overall) to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the Browns' first- and third-round selections – Nos. 26 and 83 overall, respectively. The Eagles later traded the No. 83 overall selection to the Houston Texans in exchange for the Texans' fourth- and fifth-round selections (Nos. 101 and 141 overall, respectively).
- ^ a b The Eagles traded their original second- and fourth-round selections (Nos. 54 and 122 overall, respectively) to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for the Titans' second-round selection (No. 42 overall).
- ^ a b The Eagles traded their sixth-round selection (No. 198 overall) and defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga to the New England Patriots in exchange for the Patriots' fifth-round selection – No. 169 overall. The Eagles later traded the No. 169 selection to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for running back Darren Sproles.
- ^ The Eagles traded running back Bryce Brown and their original seventh-round selection (No. 237 overall) to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for the Bills' seventh-round selection (No. 224 overall). The trade also includes a conditional future draft selection, which the Eagles could receive from the Bills in either 2015 or 2016. If Brown hits undisclosed statistical rushing targets with the Bills in 2014, the Eagles will receive the Bills' 2016 third-round selection, otherwise, the Eagles could receive the Bills' 2015 fourth-round selection, which the Bills conditionally acquired in a trade that sent wide receiver Stevie Johnson to the San Francisco 49ers. However, if Johnson does not meet certain statistical receiving targets with the 49ers in 2014, the Bills' trade with the 49ers will be voided, and if Brown does not meet certain statistical rushing targets with the Bills in 2014, the Eagles will not receive a future draft selection from the Bills.

Carson Palmer lofted a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie John Brown with 1:21 to play to give the Arizona Cardinals a stunning 24–20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup of two of the NFL's four remaining one-loss teams.
The Cardinals (6–1) had a goal-line stand that forced the Eagles (5–2) to settle for a 20-yard field goal that put Philadelphia up 20–17 with 1:56 left. Then on third-and-five, Palmer - who also had an 80-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald - heaved the ball deep, where the speedy Brown gathered it in and crossed the goal line just as he was being tackled. The Eagles drove to the Arizona 16. On the last play of the game, Jordan Matthews caught a pass from Nick Foles in the end zone but landed out of bounds.[5]

The Packers started hot and never looked back, cruising to an easy win over the Eagles, who were tied for the best record in the NFL.
The Packers took the ball and went 75 yards, with the big play being Aaron Rodgers hooking up with Jordy Nelson for 65 yards. However, two incomplete passes forced the Packers to settle for a 27-yard Mason Crosby field goal. After an Eagles punt, the Packers stormed 88 yards in 13 plays, taking 6:47 off the clock, ending with Rodgers connecting with DaVante Adams for a 6-yard touchdown pass. Rodgers continued to show that the Eagles' secondary was no match. The Eagles went three-and-out on their next drive, but this time Micah Hyde returned the punt 75 yards for a touchdown, extending the Packers lead to 17–0 in the first quarter. The Eagles finally managed points on their next drive, going 44 yards in 10 plays before Cody Parkey hit a 33-yard field goal with 13:08 remaining in the half. Unfortunately, for the Eagles, there was no stopping Aaron Rodgers. The Packers advanced 80 yards in only 6 plays, with Rodgers throwing for 60-yard on the drive, including the 27-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson. The Eagles offense continued to sputter, punting on their next possession. The Packers continued their utter domination, moving to the Eagles 19-yard-line, but Malcolm Jenkins was flagged for pass interference in the end zone, moving the ball to the 1 yard-line. Eddie Lacy took it in on the very next play(the Packers two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful) and the Packers led 30–3 with just 2:00 minutes left in the half. On their next drive, the Eagles managed to move 65 yards and Cody Parkey hit his second field goal of the half, trimming the score to 30–6 at halftime. The Eagles drove into Packer territory on their first possession of the second half, but Mark Sanchez lost a fumble that was recovered by Nick Perry. The Packers punted for the first time all night on their next drive, but the Eagles did nothing, punting themselves. The Packers proceeded to march 48 yards and Crosby was successful from 33 yards away, giving the Packers a 33–6 lead. On the following drive Mark Sanchez continued to give up the ball, with defensive end Julius Peppers returning an interception 52 yards for a touchdown making the score 39-6(Crosby's PAT was blocked). Sanchez drove the Eagles 80 yards, hitting Jordan Matthews 10 yards for a touchdown, closing the gap to 39–13. Rodgers responded by hitting Lacy 32 yards for a touchdown on a screen pass. Sanchez threw his second interception of the night on the next possession, but Crosby missed a field goal. Once again Sanchez turned it over (this time on a fumble), and Casey Hayward returned it 49 yards for a touchdown, making the score a humiliating, 53–13. Sanchez hit Jeremy Maclin for a 20-yard touchdown pass on the next Eagle possession, to close the scoring, giving the Packers a 53–20 victory. The Packers outgained the Eagles 475–429, but four turnovers (all by Sanchez) buried the Eagles.
