Philadelphia Eagles Soar with Three ESPY Trophies

Philadelphia sports fans, get ready for some more bragging rights. The Philadelphia Eagles brought home not one, not two, but three top honors at the 2025 ESPY Awards! For those who love a good underdog story or just want to celebrate Philly pride, last night was one for the history books.

It’s not every day that a team shines as brightly as the Eagles did on the ESPY stage. They grabbed the coveted Best Team award, crowning a season full of grit and resilience. But the spotlight didn’t stop there. Star running back Saquon Barkley lit up the night with two more wins: Best NFL Player and Best Play. If you missed the play, Barkley’s award-winning moment against the Jacksonville Jaguars is already legendary: a spin move, an epic hurdle over a defender, and a touchdown that brought the Linc to its feet.

Although Barkley couldn’t attend the ceremony in person, his energy was well-represented by teammate Jordan Mailata, who accepted on his behalf. As Mailata shared with ESPN, “If Barkley were here, he’d call this a team award.” It’s this spirit of unity that defines the Eagles, talent on the field, but always about the bigger picture.

This year’s ESPYs were a celebration of NFL excellence, with Eagles players leading the way. Barkley’s powerful runs and ability to catch under pressure proved decisive all season, making him an easy pick for Best NFL Player. His performances, along with key plays across the roster, set the Birds apart.

One thing became clear as the Eagles accepted their awards: this team believes in group success. Every speech circled back to the collective journey, highlighting the importance of working together, overcoming injuries, and sticking with each other when the pressure was on.
