  Under head coach Nick Sirianni, the Philadelphia Eagles improved upon their 11–6 record in 2023, going 14–3. This was Philadelphia's fifth Super Bowl appearance, following a win in Super Bowl LII and losses in Super Bowls XV, XXXIX, and LVII.
  
  Quarterback Jalen Hurts had an efficient season, with career highs in completion percentage, yards per attempt, passer rating, and only five interceptions. However, he only attempted 361 passes due to the high workload from Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley, who became the ninth player in league history with 2,000 rushing yards in a season. Hurts also missed the final three games in the regular season due to a concussion and broken finger, but he returned for the playoffs. The Eagles receiving corps included second-team All-Pro wide receiver A. J. Brown (1,079 yards), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (833 yards), and tight end Dallas Goedert (496 yards). The offensive line was one of the best in the league, with Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Lane Johnson making the Pro Bowl, as well as Johnson and Jordan Mailata being selected as All-Pros.
  
  Under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the Eagles had the top-ranked defense in the NFL, headlined by linebacker Zack Baun (151 tackles, five forced fumbles, 3.5 sacks). The defensive front consisted of All-Pro defensive tackles Jalen Carter (4.5 sacks) and Milton Williams (5.0 sacks), and outside linebackers Josh Sweat (8.0 sacks) and Nolan Smith (6.5 sacks). The secondary had multiple key contributors, including rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, safeties Reed Blankenship and C. J. Gardner-Johnson, and veteran cornerback Darius Slay.
