You might see a lot of German Shepherds in the stands at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday watching the Eagles take on the Vikings in the NFC Championship game.
Following Saturday’s 15-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, offensive lineman Lane Johnson and defensive lineman Chris Long both walked off the field wearing dog masks as a nod to the team’s status as the first No.1 seed to be an underdog in its first postseason game.
And many fans are apparently now picking up their own underdog masks.
“Me and Chris Long were talking [at lunch], and everybody’s calling us underdogs, so hey, let’s go get us a dog mask,” Johnson told reporters following the game.
