The 1989 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's 57th season in the National Football League (NFL).
This season marked the Eagles’ second consecutive appearance in the postseason, this time as a wild-card team. They would lose in the Wild Card round to the Los Angeles Rams 21–7.
Tribulation struck the Eagles late in the season with the death of quarterbacks coach Doug Scovil from a heart attack. For the remainder of the season, the Eagles wore a black stripe made of electrical tape over the wings on their helmet in tribute.
It was Hall of Famer Cris Carter's final season in Philadelphia as his on-and-off the field troubles led to his release the following preseason. He would then sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
