The Eagles have been hyping up their huge #BlackSunday matchup with the New York Giants all week so it's not surprising they brought out some extra theatrics for the pregame ceremonies. Rocky alone would not do for Sunday Night Football.
The Birds attempted to take a page from the soccer world and unfurled a giant tifo in one of the endzones featuring a bunch of Eagles tackling a Giant. Only problem, they screwed up the placement. Oops.
Noted soccer nut Jonathan Tanenwald appeared to get a bit of enjoyment at the footballers failing at the futbol maneuver.
For the unfamiliar, from wiki:
Tifo, originally the Italian word for the phenomenon of supporting a sport team, is mostly used as a name for any choreography displayed by fans in the stands of an arena or stadium in connection with a sport event, mostly as part of an association football match.
Tifos are most commonly seen in important matches, local derbies and rivalries and although the tradition originated at club teams, some national teams also have fans that organise tifos on a regular basis.[1] Tifos are primarily arranged by ultras or a supporter club to show their love to the club,[2] but are sometimes sponsored or arranged by the club itself.
