The 1998 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 66th in the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 6–9–1, winning only three games, which was their worst record since 1972 and until 2012, the only time since then they have won fewer than five games.
The Eagles' 161 points-scored (10.06 per game) is tied for the third-lowest total in a 16-game schedule. Philadelphia's three quarterbacks -- Bobby Hoying, Koy Detmer, and Rodney Peete—each won one game, and throwing for only seven total touchdowns combined.

Famous quotes containing the words philadelphia and/or season:
“It used to be said that, socially speaking, Philadelphia asked who a person is, New York how much is he worth, and Boston what does he know. Nationally it has now become generally recognized that Boston Society has long cared even more than Philadelphia about the first point and has refined the asking of who a person is to the point of demanding to know who he was. Philadelphia asks about a man’s parents; Boston wants to know about his grandparents.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
“When I read a story, I relive the moment from which it sprang. A scene burned itself into me, a building magnetized me, a mood or season of Nature’s penetrated me, history suddenly appeared to me in some tiny act, or a face had begun to haunt me before I glanced at it.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
