Oh, those superstitions… Whether you believe in them or not, they have, no doubt, worked their way into our subconscious. How many times have you heard of the EA Sports Madden NFL curse or the Super Bowl hangover? Well, there were no Philadelphia Eagles on the cover of last year’s version of the beloved pro football sim. The great John Madden landed there himself, and rightfully so. It doesn’t look like there will be any Birds on this year’s cover either. That ‘hangover’ theory, however, has people talking.
After landing a few points short of winning the second Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history, anything less than getting back to football’s biggest game and winning it will be a step backward for Philadelphia… Hey… No pressure…
Jalen Hurts’ temperament and the veteran leadership on this team have instilled some faith in football’s most loyal fan base.
