NFC East winners. NFC conference champions. Super Bowl champions. Add one more accolade to the list for the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles: best team.
The NFL’s latest title-winning squad was named the ‘Best Team’ at the 2025 ESPYS Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The final award of the night went to the team that went 14-3 in the regular season and rattled off four wins to take home the franchise’s second title in eight seasons.
Multiple Eagles players and coach Nick Sirianni were in attendance to accept the award for their incredible season.
‘On behalf of the Philadelphia Eagles organization, thank you,’ Sirianni said. ‘What an honor it is to be associated with all of the great teams that were up for this award. Thank you to the fans who voted for us and thank you to the best fans in the world back home in Philly.’
Left tackle Jordan Mailata added some fun comments after Sirianni spoke.
‘If you made it this far into the program, give yourselves a pat on the back,’ Mailata said. ‘It’s been a long night. I also want to give a thanks to our sixth offensive lineman, (ESPYS host) Shane Gillis. Training camp starts on Tuesday so if you want to give it a run, let us know.’
Mailata turned more serious after that quip to thank other members of the team.
‘I also want to give thanks to the many people who don’t get the light shined on them,’ Mailata said. ‘Our trainers, our strength and conditioning trainers, our athletic trainers, our chefs. But then you look deeper than that and it’s our families, our rock, the people who get us to work every day, and our wives. So thank you to everyone who supported us.’
It was a big night for the Eagles and their players. Star running back Saquon Barkley won the ‘Best Play’ award for his iconic hurdle and ‘Best NFL player’ award.
