  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles have endured a challenging 2026 season thus far. Since the departure of head coach Nick Sirianni, the team's performance has been disheartening, with three consecutive weeks of losses and a 2-7 record on the season. This places them in last place in the NFC East, having lost to each of their three divisional opponents by a combined score of 84-42. While it's highly improbable that the team will finish with a 2-15 record, it's difficult to envision a turnaround at this point. In comparison to the franchise's worst seasons over the last 40 years, the 1998 campaign led by Ray Rhodes appears to be the most disastrous. With a -183 point differential and -11.4 point margin of victory, they ranked lowest in Simple Rating System (SRS) among the five teams being considered. The 2020 season, played during the COVID-19 pandemic, was slightly worse in terms of SRS (-8.9), but their 2026 team still lags far behind, currently third on the list. The 2012 team, though worse in margin of victory (-8.9), had a more functional offense and a weaker defense. As the 2026 season continues, it remains to be seen if the Eagles will ever recover from this all-time low.",
