Green Bay Packers:
After a rocky 3-6 start, the Green Bay Packers were able to make a late resurgence in the second half of the season, earning the final NFC Wild Card spot and ending the regular season with a 9-8 record. The Packers blew past the Cowboys with a dominant 48-32 win, before San Francisco ultimately ended their postseason run the following week in the Divisional Round.
In his first season as the Packers starter, Jordan Love—a 2020 1st-round pick who sat behind Aaron Rodgers for the first three seasons of his career—proved he had what it takes to be a franchise quarterback. In the final 10 games of the regular season, the Utah State alum threw 21 touchdowns, the second most in the league. Additionally, Love had a 67.3% completion percentage in the postseason.
The Packers’ front office responded, and Love enters the season tied with Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence as the highest-paid players in NFL history based on average salary. Love signed a 4-year extension worth $220 million in July.

Philadelphia Eagles:
After a 10-1 start to the season, which was the best record in the league through the first 12 weeks, it looked like Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles were on their way to their second straight Super Bowl. However, the Eagles’ season took a surprising turn. The team lost 5 of their last 6 games, and their postseason run was cut short after a 32-9 blowout loss to Tampa Bay in the Wild Card game.
The Eagles made major staffing changes following last season’s disappointing result, firing offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, defensive coordinator Sean Desai, and senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia.
Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio took over the offensive and defensive coordinator roles. Moore has 5 years of experience as an NFL offensive coordinator, while Fangio enters his 21st year as a defensive coordinator and 38th year in the league overall.
Fifth-year QB Jalen Hurts looks to be more consistent after ending last season with career highs of 15 interceptions and 20 turnovers.
