Washington Commanders fans are understandably excited ahead of their NFC Championship showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the game is likely already decided, given the actions of some among the fanbase.
The City of Brotherly Love will play host to the highly-anticipated matchup. It’s also the home of the famous Rocky statue.
The sculpture, which was inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa character from the titular franchise, has brought good luck to the city, but only because rival fans go out looking for it.
It’s become a bit of a habit to dress the statue in rival gear ahead of a big game, but teams whose fans do this have never beaten the Eagles at home. It appears Washington Commanders fans may not have been aware of this, as they’ve done exactly that ahead of Sunday’s clash.
“BREAKING: #COMMANDERS FANS HAVE DECORATED THE ROCKY STATUE IN PHILADELPHIA; multiple fans who have seen it confirmed,” MLFootball tweeted on Friday.
