Playoff finishDid not qualify

The 1944 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 12th in the league. The team improved on their previous output of 5–4–1, winning seven games.[1] The team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the 12th consecutive season.

Rookie Mel Bleeker broke was the NFL’s top receiver, as he played 9 games for the Eagles, starting three of them.[2] He was second in the NFL in long reception (75), third in touchdowns (8; still the team's all-time rookie record) and yards/rushing attempt (5.3), fourth in yards from scrimmage (614), and sixth in points scored (48).[3][2] He led the Eagles in touchdowns and scoring, despite having been primarily a blocking back in college.[4]
