What does a man do for his birthday when he owns one of the most popular franchises in all of sports and he’s worth a little over $2 billion? It’s simple. He goes to the game. The Philadelphia Eagles held the ball for over 20 minutes in the second half as team owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie celebrated his 68th birthday in style.
Philly spotted the Washington Redskins a 17-0 lead before exploding and outscoring their long-term rivals by a score of 32 to 10 en route to a 32-27 victory in the friendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field.
