Eagles fans start ‘Let's go Bears' chant during Sunday's game against Redskins

Share

"Thank u, next." -Philadelphia Eagles and fans, probably.

Entering Sunday, the Eagles were on the outside looking in at the NFC Playoffs with an 8-7 record. In order to clinch a playoff berth, the Eagles needed a win over the Redskins and for the Bears to defeat the 8-6-1 Vikings.

It would have been safe to assume that FedEx Field would feature battling chants of "Let's go Redskins!" and "Let's go Eagles!" Heck, it wouldn't have been a surprise if the latter was the more prominent of the two. Instead, Eagles fans threw a curveball.

In an interesting plot twist, Eagles fans started a "Let's go Bears!" chant towards the end of the game in Washington D.C.

The Eagles did their part, defeating the Redskins 24-0. Soon thereafter, the Bears defeated the Vikings 24-10, helping the Eagles clinch the No. 6 seed in the NFC.

While the Eagles surely are thankful for the Bears' win, there likely is no love lost between the two teams. Sunday, the Eagles will take on the Bears at Soldier Field in the NFC Wild Card Game, with the winner moving one game closer to Super Bowl LIII.
