After calls from Eagles' Lane Johnson and Chris Long, proceeds from NFL underdog shirts to benefit Philadelphia schools

Eagles Chris Long and Lane Johnson are preparing to take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, but first they went head-to-head with the NFL’s merchandise team.

Long took to Twitter on Monday to challenge the organization to donate the proceeds of its Eagles Super Bowl LII T-shirts to charity, following steps the two players have taken with their own underdog-themed gear.

And a day later, the league said it would do just that. The Official NFL Shop tweeted Tuesday evening that all of the proceeds from its shirts would benefit the Philadelphia School District’s not-for-profit arm.
