Every NFL season is remembered for a few things.
It’s looked back upon with the champion in mind. But also, who won MVP? Who was the breakout star? Which team disappointed the most, and which came out of nowhere to make a magical run?
These are the story lines and topics that define a campaign, and there were plenty of them coming out of the 2024 season. But there’s no better place to start than in the nation’s capital, where a team long in the wilderness finally found the light in a rookie quarterback.
The winners and losers of the 2024 NFL season.
WinnersPhiladelphia Eagles
Not only did the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, but they did so in memorable fashion.
First, they scored 55 points to demolish the Washington Commanders in the NFC title game. Then, behind a virtuoso performance from defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, Philadelphia pounded the Kansas City Chiefs, 40–22, in a game not nearly as close as that score would indicate.
For the Eagles, it’s a capstone on what has been a brilliant run by general manager Howie Roseman over the past few years. While Roseman has found value in trading for receiver A.J. Brown and signing players such as safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and guard Mekhi Becton, he’s been phenomenal in the draft, too. Just over the past two seasons, Roseman landed corners Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and edge rusher Nolan Smith Jr.
Philadelphia is a resounding champion led by its general manager and all its star players.
