The Eagles won a coin flip today over the Indianapolis Colts and now hold the 14th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft that will take place in Philadelphia in April.
It was a minor, yet significant, occurrence in the busy NFL offseason but you bet your butts that Eagles nation had some fun with the toss.
