Dallas may be “America’s Team,” but Philadelphia has “America’s Fans” and anyone who watched (or listened) to the Eagles-Rams game will tell you they’re a force to be reckoned with.
According to the schedule, Sunday’s contest was supposed to be a home game for the Rams in Inglewood, Calif. According to the amount of Midnight and Kelly Green throughout the arena, the Eagles were hardly in enemy territory 2,730 miles away from Lincoln Financial Field.
At home, Philly fans can be an unsettling force. On the road, they’re becoming even more impactful. This is how it looked outside of SoFi Stadium prior to the game. Bonus points if you can spot a Rams fan:
Apparently, Eagles fans in SoFi Stadium were so loud, that the Rams had to change the way they snapped the ball, something rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter was more than happy to take advantage of:
After beating the Rams 23-14, the Eagles are 5-0 for the fourth time in franchise history, and Philadelphia fans deserve at least some credit for their current record. Their love for their local sports teams knows no bounds. Just ask recently signed cornerback Bradley Roby who took in a Phillies game this week.
“They were doing Eagles chants during the game,” Bradley said. “I’m like ‘What? This is baseball. How you gonna talk about Eagles?’ But it just showed me how much they love their sports in this city.”
He’s not wrong. Sunday wasn’t the first time Philly fans have taken over an opposing stadium, and it certainly won’t be the last. Next week the team travels a mere 95 miles to face the Jets. New York, you’ve been warned.
