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)
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
