Rams Rookie Jared Verse Criticizes Eagles Fans Ahead of Divisional Playoff

The linebacker’s comments about Philadelphia fans have drawn reactions from Eagles players and fans as tensions rise before Sunday’s game.

Jared Verse, a rookie linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams, expressed his strong dislike for Eagles fans, calling them 'annoying' and stating their colors make him 'genuinely upset.'
Verse’s comments stem from his experiences during the Rams’ Week 12 loss to the Eagles, where he faced harsh words from Philadelphia fans in Los Angeles.
Eagles players Saquon Barkley and Darius Slay reacted to Verse’s statements, with Barkley calling them unwise and Slay predicting an intense atmosphere at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
Philadelphia fans and media have amplified Verse’s remarks online, with some suggesting his comments will motivate the crowd and the Eagles’ offensive line.
The Rams’ defense, including Verse, will need to focus on containing Saquon Barkley, who rushed for a career-high 255 yards in his last game, as they face the Eagles in the NFC Divisional Round.
