The 2012 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's 80th season in the National Football League (NFL), and the fourteenth and final under head coach Andy Reid, as well as the tenth playing their home games at Lincoln Financial Field. Despite starting the season 3–1, the team would massively struggle, the team failed to improve on their 8–8 record from 2011, and went 1–11 in their final 12 games en route to a 4–12 record, their worst record since 1998 when they won only three games and also finished with a losing record for the first time since 2005. Additionally, their four wins were not only by less than three points each, but all four of them had their deciding scores being acquired after the two-minute warnings. On December 31, 2012, Reid was fired after 14 seasons as the Eagles' head coach. Also, for the fourth consecutive season, the team the Eagles played in their home opener went on to win the Super Bowl.
The Eagles traded the fifteenth selection in the 2012 NFL draft to the Seattle Seahawks along with a fourth and a sixth-round pick in exchange for the twelfth pick, where they selected defensive tackle Fletcher Cox.
