NFL's 5 bird teams pulled off major milestone in Week 2: Eagles, Ravens, Seahawks, Falcons, Cardinals make history image

Soaring, flying, winning.

The NFL has five teams named after birds: The Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals.

And on Sunday, as part of Week 2 of the 2025 NFL regular season, all five won.

It's the first time this has happened since devoted X tracker @RylieKeeves began keeping track in 2020.

The Ravens started it off in the 1 p.m. window Sunday with a dominant 41-17 win over the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore was actually outgained by Cleveland, but mistakes by the Browns made it an easy day for the Ravens.

The Seahawks also played in the early window as they made the cross-country trip and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-17. They got one over on DK Metcalf, the receiver they sent to Pittsburgh.

The Cardinals took a huge lead on the Carolina Panthers before holding on to win 27-22 by stifling a late Bryce Young drive that could've taken the lead.

The Eagles pulled out a win in a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-17. Jalen Hurts didn't even throw for 100 yards, but he didn't have to.

The Falcons capped it off on Sunday Night Football with a 22-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

They even did it on the same game, with none of the bird teams playing on either Thursday or Monday.

It's obviously a feat that could be ruined any week that two of the birds face off.

But this week, they all got the job done, and their wings are surely feeling light and free.
