Overview
- Owner Jeffrey Lurie and recently retired defensive end Brandon Graham carried Lombardi trophies onto the field as the new banner recognized last season’s 40-22 Super Bowl win over Kansas City.
- Green fireworks ignited over Lincoln Financial Field as Graham led the E-A-G-L-E-S chant and the fight song played during the tarp pull.
- Actor and longtime fan Rob McElhenney took the microphone for the team’s “Championship Moment” and introduced the two-time champions to the crowd.
- Only specialists Jake Elliott, Braden Mann, and Charley Hughlett were on the field as most players stayed inside per Nick Sirianni’s plan to avoid distractions.
- The reveal was nearly exposed earlier when staff activity loosened the covering, allowing photos of the banner to circulate on social media.
