On Sunday afternoon, the Jacksonville Jaguars gave the Philadelphia Eagles quite a gift when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a wild comeback victory that ended in an overtime pick-six. The Jaguars’ win ensured that the Eagles can clinch the division title with a win in any of the next three games, including this week’s game against the Cowboys. And after the game, the Eagles returned the favor in a hilarious way.
According to the Florida Times-Union, the Philadelphia Eagles sent the Jacksonville Jaguars 35 Philly cheesesteaks as a thank-you gift for beating the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.
On Monday Jeff Harris, the owner of Jacksonville restaurant Philly’s Finest, received an order of 35 cheesesteaks and 25 large fries to be delivered to Jaguars Coach Doug Pederson at TIAA Bank Field on Monday. At first, he was worried it was a prank and it wasn’t really the Eagles placing the order, but a team spokesperson reached out and confirmed that it was indeed from the Philadelphia Eagles.
“Someone called in food and I made food, and the courier picked it up and brought it to the stadium,” Harris told the Times-Union.
Philly’s Finest is a staple for Philadelphia Eagles fans in the Jacksonville area and serves what Harris describes as a “massive Eagles fan club” of about 200-250 people for every Eagles game with nearly every seat filled by 11:30 a.m. most Sundays.
And now the restaurant got to be a part of a hilarious prank.
