The Eagles’ First Six Weeks Expose Stunning Breakouts—and a Few Disappointments Fans Can’t Stop Debating.QQ
The Philadelphia Eagles are six weeks into the 2025 NFL season. After opening with four straight wins, they now enter Week 7 looking to bounce back from two straight losses.
While this team hasn’t consistently looked like the reigning Super Bowl LIX champions that fans came to expect, there have still been some bright spots along the way.
Here’s a look at the Eagles’ first-trimester report card, complete with superlatives and overall grades.

Offensive Superlatives
MVP: Dallas Goedert
Tight end Dallas Goedert has shown up each week and currently leads the Eagles’ receiving room with five touchdowns. He’s never had more than five in an entire season since he did back in 2019.
Glue guy: Jordan Mailata
The Eagles can always count on Jordan Mailata to hold the offensive line down for them. Just like last season, Mailata remains the highest graded offensive lineman for Philly with an overall PFF grade of 82.8.
Biggest surprise: Tyler Steen
Tyler Steen has been an underrated key piece of the Eagles’ offensive line this season. He’s allowed just one sack, which is doing better than Lane Johnson and Brett Toth. The only guard grading out better than him right now is Matt Pryor.
Biggest disappointment: Saquon Barkley
Saquon Barkley was the star of the show in 2024, but that has been far from the case this season. Of course, it’s not entirely his fault. Barkley has carried the ball 95 times for just 325 yards and three scores so far this season.
Turning point of the last six weeks: A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown kicked off the season with just one target. While he still isn’t getting enough, he’s making plays when he does (if we ignore the Broncos game). Brown has hauled in just 25 receptions for 274 yards and one score so far. Those numbers should be doubled, and everybody knows that the Eagles must keep feeding him if they want to win, and everybody knows that.
Defensive Superlatives
MVP: Zack Baun
Zack Baun is rarely an issue and more like a lifesaver for the Eagles, currently leading the Eagles’ defense with 48 tackles, two sacks, one interception, and one pass defended.
Glue guy: Cooper DeJean
The Eagles’ secondary has been a mess this season, but one player holding it together and remaining consistent has been Cooper DeJean. In six games, DeJean has totaled 28 tackles, including two tackles for loss, and defended five passes.
