Eagles Own Brutal Record, Stats Against Seahawks Since 1995
The sputtering Philadelphia Eagles desperately need to get back on track on Monday Night Football in Week 15. History suggests their schedule didn’t hand them a good opponent in a desperate spot. The Eagles own a brutal record against the Seattle Seahawks.
The two NFC franchises have never developed a rivalry. They’ve both appeared in three Super Bowls during the 21st century and won their first and only ring. However, the head-to-head competition isn’t remotely close.
Eagles Own Terrible Record Against Seahawks
A 27-10 laugher at Veterans Stadium in December 1976 had the Eagles feeling confident about their future chances against the expansion Seahawks. They earned a 4-1 record in the first five matchups between the two teams through 1992. Recent history hasn’t cooperated.
The Eagles are 3-11 in their last 14 games against the Seahawks since 1995. The streak includes a seven-game losing streak and nine losses in their last 10. Seattle hasn’t traveled to Philadelphia and lost since 1989.

All Eagles Head Coaches Struggle
Doug Pederson finished with an 0-5 record and a -47 point differential against the Seahawks as Eagles head coach. The best season in franchise history in 2017 only included two losses in competitive games, yet the Eagles couldn’t find a way to defeat a Seahawks team that finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
The 2019 Eagles lost to Seattle by identical 17-9 scores in Week 12 and the NFC Wild Card Round.
Chip Kelly only faced Seattle once, but it was a forgettable afternoon. Mark Sanchez finished with 96 passing yards in an embarrassing 24-14 loss in December 2014.
Andy Reid won his first two matchups and ultimately finished 3-3 against the NFC West foe. However, a loss in 2005 is the lasting memory of Reid’s matchups against Seattle. Philadelphia fans will never forget losing 42-0 on Monday Night Football on a night the organization set up a halftime tribute to the late Reggie White.
That blowout somehow topped a 38-0 opening day loss to the Seahawks in 1998. Ray Rhodes slipped to 0-2 against them in his final season with the Eagles.
Nick Sirianni, 2023 Eagles
What does this all mean for the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles? Not all that much.
Nick Sirianni has never faced Seattle. Jalen Hurts played two snaps on offense behind Carson Wentz in 2020 the last time these two teams played.
Pederson always struggled against Pete Carroll, one of the most accomplished head coaches in the NFL. However, the franchise’s identity changed when Russell Wilson left Seattle in 2022.
The Eagles had never lost to the New York Jets in the history of the two respective franchises entering 2023. Look at how much that mattered in Week 6.
The law of averages alone might give Nick Sirianni a chance to outperform his four predecessors.
