Philadelphia, December 19, 2025 — The Philadelphia Eagles organization and the entire Eagles Nation are mourning a heartbreaking loss following devastating news: Christina Chambers, a respected veteran sports reporter who covered the Eagles for more than a decade, has tragically passed away at a far-too-young age.
Christina Chambers was a familiar and trusted presence on the sidelines at Lincoln Financial Field, standing through bitter cold, driving rain, and emotionally charged game days as she followed the Eagles through countless defining moments — from fierce NFC East battles to unforgettable playoff runs that became part of Philadelphia football history.
With her radiant smile and unwavering professionalism, Christina delivered sharp sideline reports, deeply emotional postgame interviews, and intimate behind-the-scenes stories that connected Eagles players with fans across the world. She covered the team across multiple eras, witnessing leadership from franchise icons and chronicling the rise of a new generation of Eagles stars. Whether it was the roar of the Linc, a tense primetime matchup, or a season-defining moment, Christina was always there — microphone in hand — carrying the heart of Eagles football to viewers nationwide.
Tragedy struck in devastating fashion. According to law enforcement officials, on Tuesday morning (approximately December 16, 2025), police discovered the bodies of Christina Chambers and her husband, Johnny Rimes, inside their home in Hoover, Alabama. Authorities believe the incident was related to domestic violence, with investigators suspecting that the husband took Christina’s life before taking his own. Their 3-year-old son was found safe nearby. Though physically unharmed, he has lost an extraordinary mother — a loving, talented, and devoted woman.
Christina’s passing has left an irreplaceable void within Eagles Nation. She was more than a reporter assigned to the team — she was part of the Eagles family, a steady presence through seasons defined by passion, adversity, and championship pursuit.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni shared in a statement:
“Christina wasn’t just covering the Eagles — she genuinely cared about our players, our staff, and this community. Her professionalism, kindness, and compassion were felt by everyone who worked with her. Our hearts are broken.”
Across social media, fellow journalists, former players, and fans have expressed overwhelming grief, with tributes spreading rapidly under hashtags such as #EaglesNation, #FlyEaglesFly, and #InMemoryOfChristina.
Christina Chambers was more than a journalist. She was an inspiration to young reporters pursuing careers in sports media and a powerful reminder that humanity matters just as much as wins and losses. Her passing also casts a painful spotlight on the devastating reality of domestic violence, underscoring the urgent need for awareness, protection, and support for those who may be suffering in silence.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Eagles Nation extend their deepest condolences to Christina’s family, friends, and loved ones. She will forever be remembered as a steady light on the sideline — a trusted voice, a warm presence, and a lasting part of Philadelphia Eagles history.
Rest in peace, Christina. Eagles Nation will carry you forever. 🦅💚
