The 2015 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 83rd in the National Football League (NFL), and their third and final year under head coach Chip Kelly. Acting as the de facto general manager, Kelly cut or traded several prominent starters, such as Nick Foles, Evan Mathis, Trent Cole, and 2013 rushing champion LeSean McCoy, while their leading receiver Jeremy Maclin left in free agency. Kelly brought in new players like Sam Bradford, Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonso, and 2014 rushing champion DeMarco Murray, who he believed to better fit his system. The team also signed free agent quarterback Tim Tebow in what would be Tebow's last time playing in the NFL (excluding a brief preseason stint as a tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021).
In a mirror image of 2014, the Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention in a Week 16 Saturday Night Football loss to the Washington Redskins. On December 29, 2015, Kelly was abruptly fired by the Eagles. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur would take over as interim head coach for the final week of the 2015 season.
