Eagles respond to Vikings with Twitter burn

Share

In case you forgot, the Eagles are Super Bowl champions, beat the Minnesota Vikings, 38-7, to get the chance to play the New England Patriots — in Minnesota — and beat them in one of the most exciting games in history.

They’re not done picking up W’s either.

On Saturday, St. Patrick’s Day, the Minnesota Vikings sent out this tweet and the Eagles collected their first win as defending champs, with the burn on Twitter.

The Eagles then replied with this tremendous photo of Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and new Vikings QB Kirk Cousins (who lost the lone playoff game he started with the Redskins) in their days as teammates at Michigan State before Foles went on to star at the University of Arizona.

Many fans went to the comments to point out that the initial post was, probably, a dig at the Vikings' NFC North rivals, the Green Bay Packers, but with the two teams poised to have strong seasons in 2018 and possibly beyond, there could be a new-age rivalry brewing.

If reports are correct, that saga could continue as soon as the very first game of the next NFL season, too.
