Jalen Hurts Philadelphia Eagles Playoff Performance

Some teams are built for the regular season. They rack up wins against mediocre competition, then fold when the pressure intensifies in January.

The Philadelphia Eagles are not that team.

33 Playoff Touchdowns. Most in the NFL.

Since 2022, the Eagles have scored 33 touchdowns in the playoffs - more than any other team in the NFL. When the stakes are highest and the competition is fiercest, Philadelphia finds the end zone.

This isn't a one-year fluke. It's sustained excellence in the games that matter most.

The Playoff Resume

The Eagles' postseason run since 2022 has been remarkable:

  • 3 NFC Championship Game appearances
  • 2 Super Bowl appearances
  • 1 Super Bowl Championship (2024)
  • 33 playoff touchdowns

This team doesn't just make the playoffs. They dominate in the playoffs.

Who's Scoring?

The touchdowns have come from everywhere. Jalen Hurts has been a force both throwing and running the ball in the postseason. Saquon Barkley became the Eagles' all-time postseason rushing leader in just two playoff runs.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have torched opposing secondaries when coverage tightens up. Even Dallas Goedert made history as the first tight end to rush for a postseason touchdown.

And the defense has gotten in on the action too. Quinyon Mitchell has recorded all 4 of his career interceptions in the playoffs - a remarkable stat for a young cornerback.

The Clutch Gene

What separates good teams from great teams is the ability to elevate when everything is on the line. The Eagles have that clutch gene embedded in their DNA.

Consider these playoff moments:

  • Hurts' 4-touchdown performance against the 49ers in the NFC Championship
  • Barkley's 200+ yard rushing games in back-to-back playoff wins
  • The defense holding opponents to under 20 points in multiple elimination games

When the lights are brightest, the Eagles shine.

Why This Matters for 2026

As the Eagles look ahead to another championship run, this playoff pedigree matters. This roster knows what it takes to win in January. They've been to the mountain top and they've handled the pressure.

Young players like Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Jalen Carter have already experienced deep playoff runs. That experience is invaluable.

The Eagles aren't hoping to compete for a Super Bowl in 2026. They're expecting to.

33 playoff touchdowns since 2022. More than anyone. Because this team is built for January.
