It’s only the preseason but football fans will get a tiny glimpse of a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl on Thursday night when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New England Patriots.
While most of the starters from each side will only see limited action, if any at all, both sides will most likely treat the game as if it’s the regular season and not the preseason since it might be the only time this play each other this year. Since the only way they can play each other is with a rematch in the Super Bowl, the Eagles took full advantage of their trip to Gillette Stadium by trolling the Patriots in subtle ways.
As you probably remember, the Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII so they figured they might as well place No. 41 Jeremy Reaves beside No. 33 Josh Adams in the locker room. Eagles offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski and cornerback Jalen Mills also took advantage of the trip by pointing out the blank space the Eagles left in the Patriots’ stadium.
