PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles embraced the underdog role.
Boy, did they embrace it.
So much so that a pair of veterans, right tackle Lane Johnson and defensive end Chris Long, went out and bought dog masks -- German Shepherd masks, to be precise -- to sport pregame in order to get into full character in the days leading up to the game.
"Me and Chris Long were talking [at lunch], and everybody's calling us underdogs, so hey, let's go get us a dog mask," Johnson said.
