When the Eagles faced the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game on Jan. 21, members of the Kendricks family wore special T-shirts, with half of a horned Viking head spliced onto half of a fearsome-looking Eagle head.
Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks was facing his younger brother, Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks, for the right to go to the Super Bowl. It was a story that gained national attention, with ESPN interviewing their mother, Yvonne Thagon, at the concession stand where she worked when the boys played for Herbert Hoover High in Fresno, Calif.
On Sunday, the Vikings will visit Lincoln Financial Field again.
