After 17 weeks of the NFL season, Super Bowl LII is upon us. This exciting game will be featuring the NFC champions, Philadelphia Eagles (aka the underdogs), versus the AFC champions, New England Patriots, (aka just Tom Brady and a football.)
The last time the Eagles were on a Super Bowl run was in 2005. 13 years later, they face off against the New England Patriots yet again. The Eagles ultimately lost 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX against the Patriots after a 14-14 tie by the end of the third quarter. Since that close loss, the Eagles struggled to maintain winning records and championships.
But now their time has come to defeat the New England Patriots and to claim their first-ever Super Bowl ring.
Loyal Philadelphia Eagles fans have been waiting a long time for this very moment and now that it's here... they are prepared and more than ready to cheer on THE BIRDS AND BLEED EAGLES GREEN! If you would like to be apart of the elite #birdgang, then here are four things to expect from Eagles fans before the Super Bowl airs in Minnesota on Sunday, February 4th.
1. Singing the Eagles fight song every five minutes.
If you don't know "Fly Eagles Fly!" you will definitely learn it rather quickly after hearing it so many times. It's not only catchy, but it's also an amazing experience to sing it in unison with all the crazy fans.2. Hearing excessive bantering against the New England Patriots; specifically Tom Brady.
Tom Brady is probably the most hated man in the city of brotherly love. On game day, don't be surprised to hear fans scream "SUCKS" after all the starters names are announced for the Patriots... it's a Philly thing. And after winning the NFC championship game against the Minnesota Vikings, fans across Philadelphia marched down to City Hall where they caused chaos all over the street. Fans were climbing poles and the police force couldn't keep up with all the excitement.3. Eating authentic Philly cheesesteaks out the wazoo
No, not just any old average cheesesteak. I'm talking about the cheesesteak you can only get in Philadelphia that features fresh Black Angus rib-eye steak, cheese-wiz, and onions. Watching an Eagles game isn't complete without eating one of these bad boys.4. Bleed Green
Although the Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, and the New York Jets all share the same team color of green, Eagles fans still stick out and prove that they're the only team in the league to bleed mid-night green. Crazy fans seriously do go all out. They wear Eagles everything from their head to toes, literally. Fan gear is pretty expensive, so you know fans are committed when they don't care if they break the bank as long as they're supporting their favorite team.
I am beyond excited to watch this game. I predict the Eagles soaring to victory 28-19 against the New England Patriots. Just remember one thing, Nick Foles and Eli Manning don't always make it to the Super Bowl, but when they do, they beat Tom Brady.
