# 2016 Philadelphia Eagles season

The 2016 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 84th in the National Football League (NFL) and their first under head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles named 2nd overall pick Carson Wentz the starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. The Eagles started 3–0 including a 34–3 win over their intrastate rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following their Week 4 bye, the Eagles went 4–9, including a 2–4 record against their divisional rivals.
