The Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia Eagles shared a light-hearted exchange after the Eagles' victory in the NFC Championship game. The conversation centered around Saquon Barkley's performance, where he scored three touchdowns. This prompted the Eagles to humorously consult with their NHL counterparts about whether this achievement qualified as a "hat trick," a term commonly used in hockey.
The Flyers responded affirmatively through their mascot, Gritty, acknowledging Barkley's accomplishment. The playful interaction highlights the camaraderie between Philadelphia's sports teams during this exciting time for the Eagles.
With Barkley's contributions leading to a win, the Eagles secured their place in the upcoming Super Bowl. Throughout the playoff run, the Flyers have been actively supporting their NFL counterparts on social media. This support is expected to continue as anticipation builds for the Super Bowl.
