Philadelphia’s Eagles, Phillies and Flyers all faced setbacks early in October, according to a Fox News report published Oct. 13, 2026.
The Eagles lost two games after surrendering fourth-quarter leads, falling to 2-3. In the loss to Jacksonville in London, Jake Elliott’s late field goal put Philadelphia ahead, but the Jaguars answered with a 57-yard field goal as time expired. The report also noted that Philadelphia had lost to the Los Angeles Rams earlier in the month after leading by 10 points in the fourth quarter.
The Phillies’ season ended in the National League Wild Card Series, where they were eliminated by division rival Atlanta. The report pointed to the team’s declining postseason results since reaching the World Series in 2022: Philadelphia later fell in the National League Championship Series, then the Division Series, before this year’s Wild Card exit. It also highlighted the age and contract commitments of several established players, as well as a low ranking for the team’s farm system cited from MLB.com.
The Flyers had yet to record a win in their first seven games, with a 0-5-2 record. They scored eight goals and allowed 28 over that stretch.
The report also mentioned the 76ers’ upcoming game against the New York Knicks, framing the team’s season as a possible opportunity for Philadelphia to find a win. That game had not yet been played when the report was published.
