In the history of the NFL, only eight teams have managed to win back-to-back Super Bowls. While winning it all is the ultimate goal for every team, some feel focusing solely on holding the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year is counterproductive. The Philadelphia Eagles won it all in 2024 and are tied for the second best odds to do it again in 2025 (+700, per Caesars Sportsbook), but the February event is the last thing coach Nick Sirianni is thinking about.
In fact, Sirianni said he won’t mention even the word “repeat” to his players, focusing instead on “sustained success.”
“Every time we talk about it, talking about this topic, we’re talking about sustained success,” Sirianni said, per NBC Philadelphia. “I think they understand what that is. A lot of these guys have had sustained success, right? They know it’s not anything they’ve done in their past and it’s not them looking forward to the future. It’s about being where they are right now. I think that’s kind of our daily message with them.”
Sirianni has used a metaphor: marathon runners don’t think about the miles they’ve run or the miles they have coming up, they focus on the mile they’re on right now. For the Eagles, that’s offseason work.
“Pretty intentional about that, just being solely focused on the day, but I think that’s really been our process,” Sirianni said. “I’m not saying anything different than I’ve said the last four years, just being focused on today. Not, ‘We’re playing this team today but in three weeks, we got this.’ I would have never said that in the first place. So I think it’s just our culture and our daily habits and how we go about it.”
It’s natural for players to want to chase the championship feeling after their first taste of it, but Sirianni believes lingering on that high can impede the ability to reach it again.
“You either can be right where you are, or you can look at it like, ‘How are we going to get back to the Super Bowl?’ Error,” Sirianni said. “Man, resting on your laurels and resting on your past accomplishments? Error. That builds your confidence and stuff like that. But I think it’s just again, being right back into [what you’re doing now]. That doesn’t mean that it’s easy.”
From 2006 to 2013, defending Super Bowl champions have either ended their season one-and-done in the playoffs or didn’t make the postseason at all. With the evolution of league expansion, salary caps, trades and free agency, it’s become even more difficult for a team to remain dominant for a long stretch of time.
The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are the two latest and strongest examples of teams that managed to stay relevant in the playoff conversation over multiple years. Sirianni hopes to add his team to this list, and with four straight playoff appearances and two Super Bowl appearances, they’re certainly on their way.
Sirianni emphasizes the need to ignore the outside noise and the distractions that naturally come up.
“It’s just making sure that you’re focused and locked in of where you are in each individual day. I know that’s boring. But success takes what it takes,” he said.

Shilo Sanders, still without a team, makes another request to Coach Prime: he needs money
Shilo Sanders was unable to land a roster spot with any franchise in 2025, and for now, he seems to be enjoying life.

NBA Picks and Predictions: Best Bets for Wednesday October 22nd
After the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder and three fellow Western Conference contenders opened the season on Tuesday, most of the rest of the league gets its turn Wednesday night. New eras and vibes abound in arenas and locker rooms. As for the betting analysis, it’s business as usual. Let’s see how these picks stack up on the Association’s first busy night of 2025-26. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS at NEW YORK KNICKS, 7 p.m. Many view these high-scoring attacks as the top two contenders in the Eastern Conference. With a trio of Top 20 scorers from last season involved, this opener from Madison Square Garden should at least pack plenty of points. New York’s Jalen Brunson (26 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24.4) will aim to outdo Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell (24.4), who has his share of running mates. Over 228.5 total points […]
Jimbo Fisher wants another college football coaching job. Is there a place for him in the modern game?
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tucked inside a private room at one of his favorite eateries, the Red Elephant Pizza and Grill, Jimbo Fisher is talking a mile a minute about play calls from yesteryear. He remembers every detail. The season, the game, the down-and-distance, the formation, the play terminology, the result.“We had trips left,” he says, gnashing on a quesadilla and washing it down with a mug of soda before launching into more ’ball.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“They were in two-high safety.”Fisher and his wife, Courtney, have agreed to meet with a reporter to talk about his desire to return to coaching. It quickly turned into a two-hour clinic on football from a man known as one of the game’s greatest offensive savants.Fisher speaks quick enough — 250 words a minute — that if you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss something important.Like, for instance, the […]
