Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels made headlines with some controversial praise of the Philadelphia Eagles fan base, and it has everybody talking — for better or worse.
Nobody outside of Eastern Pennsylvania likes Eagles fans, but Daniels cited them as the NFL's gold standard for their unrelenting passion and bravado. The fact that his comments have sparked such polarizing reactions brings up an entirely different topic.
For decades, Washington's biggest rival was the Dallas Cowboys. But given the recent history of the NFC East, as well as Philadelphia's much greater geographical relevance, it's safe to say that it is now the Eagles.
