The Eagles in one-score games

The Eagles are 2–3 in one-score games in 2026 so far, after 8–4 in 2025. Replayed with the same day’s form, they win 1.7 of those 5. Since 2019: 43–27–1 in 71 one-score games, 36.8 wins in replays.

A good record in close games looks like clutch. It rarely lasts: from 2019 to 2025, a team’s win rate in one-score games carried into the next season at a correlation of 0.12, against 0.39 for its overall record. How often a team wins those games in replays says what its play was worth.
