In the past, Eagles fans have been known for showing now mercy. They’ve booed for all sorts before, so coming into the game, there was a question of will Pederson be booed by fans of his former club. However, there was nothing. Fans shared a wonderful moment with Pederson as he came out onto the pitch to a heartwarming ovation.
Pederson helped the team to their first Lombardi Trophy at the end of the 2017 season, and ever since has become a legend of the franchise.
The 54-year-old also walked off the field without his Jaguars jacket. He gave it to Jason Kelce, Eagles center, a pivotal part of that Super Bowl team. The pair shared a nice moment together at the end of thew game, where Pederson handed over his soaked Jags jacket to Kelce.
Hey Coach, gimme your jacket. That's going in my trophy case. Awesome moment after the game for @JasonKelce and Doug Pederson. Kelce said it'll be a "prized posession" https://t.co/x3SJt0nNVc
