Eagles sent Pederson, Jaguars cheesesteaks after win over Cowboys
The Jacksonville Jaguars received an unexpected gift from the Philadelphia Eagles following Sunday's victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
To show Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson appreciation for beating their NFC East rivals, the Eagles had 35 cheesesteaks and 25 large fries delivered to TIAA Bank Field from Jacksonville restaurant Philly's Finest on Monday.
Philly's Finest owner Jeff Harris told Alexandria Mansfield of the Florida Times-Union that he initially thought it was a customer claiming to be the Eagles, but someone from the organization confirmed they had placed the order.
"We have a lot of Philly transplants," Harris said. "So it wasn't that crazy, but it was definitely unexpected to get a call from the Eagles."
A spokesperson for the Jaguars told the Times-Union that the cheesesteaks "were promptly eaten" after they arrived at the office.
Philly sits at 13-1 and is now just one win away from clinching the top seed in the NFC. The team will face the 10-4 Cowboys on Saturday.
