Philadelphia Eagles fans will get two more reminders of their team’s Super Bowl LII victory before the team, officially turns the page towards 2018’s regular season.

Come on guys. It’s the Super Bowl. Sure, we’re all aware that last season was last season. We all know the Philadelphia Eagles are completely focused on the here and now. We know if they’re to hoist another Lombardi Trophy at the end of this season they’ll need to put the success of the 2017 campaign in their rear-view mirror.

All of that’s fine and dandy and very comforting. No one has to worry about complacency or a team that isn’t motivated, but again, we’re talking about the Super Bowl. Some of us waited our entire lives to see them win one. If we’re being honest, we all know the importance of focusing on 2018. We’re just not quite done with the celebration.

Here’s some good news (and a great way to spend the night before the season opener).

If you’re looking for some entertainment on ‘Hump Day’, we’ve got you covered. The NFL Network has packaged the perfect gift for Eagles fans. Get those DVRs ready.

They’ll be airing two Super Bowl LII specials on September 5th. The first, ‘Philly Special: Doug Pederson and the 2017 Eagles’ airs at 8 PM EST. The second, ‘America’s Game: 2017 Eagles’ will follow immediately at 8 PM EST.

The first show focuses on the hiring of Doug Pederson, some behind-the-scenes details, and will give us some insight on what will go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. The second is the 52nd installment of an NFL Network original.

For the first time in the latter show’s history, two quarterbacks will be featured, both Carson Wentz and Nick Foles will join Brandon Graham and LeGarrette Blount to narrate the special.

Sure, everyone’s absolutely correct. It’s time to shift the focus, but come on. As Eagles fans, we deserve this. We can extend the celebration just one more night, can’t we?

Even if someone says we shouldn’t, how about we do it anyway?
