You didn’t think the Philadelphia Eagles would travel overseas and avoid all of the cameras, did you? Check out some of the highlights.
The Philadelphia Eagles, prior to this season, were one of the NFL franchises who had never played a game in London’s Wembley Stadium. That all changes tomorrow when they meet the Jacksonville Jaguars early on Sunday morning.
Try a 9:30 AM kickoff on for size if you’re on the East Coast. If you’re one of those west coast Eagles fans who packed the StubHub Center in Los Angeles a season ago, expect to set the alarm clock a little earlier.
You’ll be setting up shop in front of the television for a 6:30 AM kickoff. Let’s hope things go well. That’s much too early for another collapse or an emotional roller coaster.
Eagles fans travel well, don’t they?
For some Eagles fans, this was a memory they wanted to cherish from the United Kingdom, so they spent some of their hard-earned money and got a plane ticket. CBS Philly got a few of them on camera.

If you thought that this was a moment that would just fade away without a few snapshots, then you were mistaken. Typically, most would try to avoid posting too many times in a short period of time on social media so that they might avoid over saturation.
The Eagles don’t seemed too pressed about that. They posted early and often so that their fans can get the full experience of watching what their favorite team is doing in the U.K.
Here are some of the highlights:

It almost makes you forget that there’s a game to play, doesn’t it? Hopefully, this one will ease the pain of what’s been a difficult season to watch. Hopefully, Philly’s first trip to Wembley Stadium will result in a win for ‘The Birds’.
