“Eagles tailgates remain elite,” their caption read.
The original photo came from Mark Kremer, who posted three on X. His caption read, “Did Robert De Niro join your tailgate? No? That's why the tailgates hosted by [$1 godfather part 2 fan] and [Ian] are the best.”
The Eagles win over the Jaguars
The Philadelphia Eagles moved to 6-2 after their latest win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Donning their Kelly Green jerseys, the Eagles won the game thanks to another elite performance from Saquon Barkley.
He finished the game with 159 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. Barkley also caught three passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Jalen Hurts added 67 yards and a touchdown on the ground as well. Hurts also threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars kept it close, though Trevor Lawrence had a rough game. He passed for 169 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. He did score twice on the ground, though.
The Eagles are now preparing for a divisional showdown with the Dallas Cowboys on November 10. America's Team is 3-5 and third in the NFC East.
