Eagles fans indulge wild superstitions for NFC championship game

Whether the Eagles are victorious in their NFC championship game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday could depend on several things: hard work, dedication, and whether 29-year-old fan Marshall Fleming put on his Eagles shirt and listened to the “Rocky II Overture” while walking to the grocery store as he was supposed to.

C’mon, Marshall! This city is depending on you!

A 2013 survey released by Anheuser-Busch, a company known more for beer than for scientific (*hiccup!*) research, found Eagles fans to be the fifth most superstitious in the NFL. Vikings fans came in last on the survey, just as they will on Sunday.
