"I think this year will probably be it," Henley stated. "And I've said things like that before, but I feel like we're getting toward the end and that will be fine, too." When asked to confirm whether 2026 will be the end of the Eagles, he added, "I'm okay with that."
The Eagles' mega-selling compilation Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 has become the first album to ever be certified quadruple diamond for sales of 40 million copies in the United States. The best-of collection remains the biggest-selling album in the States, and interestingly was the first album to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA also newly certified the Eagles' 1976 album Hotel California as 28-times platinum.
Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season began with a Thursday night contest between the Rams and Seahawks that had major playoff implications. Seattle converted two separate 2-point conversions in an OT win, ascending to the NFC's No. 1 seed before the final two weeks of the season. In the first game on Saturday, the Eagles started slow, then poured it on against the Commanders to win their second straight NFC East crown.
The second half of the 2025 season starts with the Eagles soaring above their rivals in the NFC East. The next eight weeks may be little more than a formality for the presumptive division champions, but they haven't clinched anything yet. And at this point, the Cowboys seem to be the only team with a chance of thwarting them. Philly snuck out of Lambeau Field with a victory last Monday night, being the less ugly team in a game neither deserved to win.
