Eagles Install Inflatable ‘Positivity Rabbit’ to Lift Locker-Room Mood

Players introduced the oversized display to reset team energy before Monday’s game against the Chargers.

Overview

  • Beat reporters shared photos of the inflatable in the locker room, with offensive linemen saying they “are not sad” and just wanted a “good vibes bunny.”
  • Saquon Barkley called it a “vibe bunny” and said “the vibes are high,” according to quotes relayed by ESPN.
  • The morale move follows consecutive losses to the Cowboys and Bears and heightened scrutiny of the offense and coaching staff, including reports that OC Kevin Patullo’s house was egged.
  • Fan reaction on social media ranged from jokes to criticism, and some coverage noted the odd choice of an Easter-themed inflatable in December and the team’s cramped locker-room space.
  • Philadelphia is 8-4 and leads the NFC East, and the upcoming road game against the Chargers will offer the first read on whether the vibe shift helps performance.
