The commanders of the Eagles of Philadelphia and Washington were more than division rivals on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field while they were playing for a place in the Super Bowl Lix.
But one thing on which the two bases of fans could agree was the quality of the performance of the national anthem before the match.
Fans went to social networks to express their love for the patriotic scene which involved a real eagle, a brilliant interpretation of Mark Kate Morrissey, who plays Elphaba in “Wicked” by Broadway and fighter planes overflight.

“I am not a fan of the Eagles, but their national anthem is the best absolute with the white -headed white pygargue in the stadium,” wrote an X user. “It cannot improve.”
“Absolutely beautiful!” Another added.
An American flag the size of the football field was displayed by many fans, creating a perfect wide plan of the whole scene before the two teams can work on the grill.
But the live eagle flying around the stadium from one coach to another while Morrissey reached the peak of “The Star-Spangled Banner” was talked about the most on social networks.

“Not a fan of the Eagles but damn … This flying white eagle during the song of the national anthem made me cry the tears of pride,” said another X user.
While Morrissey finished the song, four F-16s of the 177th hunting wing flew over the stadium, putting the cherry at the top of the patriotic scene.
Things also took a hot start for the faithful of the Eagles in this match, while the home team saw the Ballon Star Saquon Barkley scoring two affected in the first quarter, one of which is on the first offensive moment of the Eagles To take a leader lead from the start.
Many teams make all the judgments of their national anthems during the season, but fans think that the Eagles are the crop of the harvest after what happened in this conference championship match.
