Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NFL season
The 1934 Philadelphia Eagles season was their second in the league. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 3–5–1, losing seven games.[1] They failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive season. However, on an interesting note, all of Philadelphia's wins were shutouts. Not only that, but the team allowed 7.7 points per game (the best in franchise history). They allowed 6 points or less 5 times, and were 4–1 in those games.
If one excludes the 1920 Rochester Jeffersons' victory over the non-league team Fort Porter, the Eagles' 64–0 defeat of the Cincinnati Reds remains the largest regular season shutout in league history as of 2023.[2]
Off season
The Eagles held their preseason training camp in the New Jersey resort city of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
