Jacksonville is coming off a playoff season and the Jaguars are led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who thrived in the Jags’ 13-4 2025 campaign. He threw for more than 4,000 yards and had 25 touchdown passes as Jacksonville won the AFC South before losing to Buffalo in the Wild Card Playoff Round.
The Eagles have won five straight in the series history dating back to September 26, 2010. In their most recent meeting, in a driving rain at Lincoln Financial Field on November 3, 2024, the Eagles defeated Jacksonville 28-23 – a game known for the Saquon Barkley reverse leap over a Jaguars defender, one that was clinched by linebacker Nakobe Dean’s leaping interception.
The entire 2026 NFL schedule will be announced on Thursday at 7:30 PM, but the Eagles have two games already announced – this one against Jacksonville and a Thanksgiving NFC East showdown in Dallas against the Cowboys.
So, that’s two down – both nationally televised, standalone contests – with 15 games still to be announced in what should have a heavy national and prime-time influence for a team that has been to the postseason – with two Super Bowl appearances and a Lombardi Trophy in the books to show for it – in each of Head Coach Nick Sirianni’s five seasons at the helm.
