Saints Mock Eagles Fans With Bullseye On Bus, Again
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The New Orleans Saints are certainly familiar with the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans, in particular.
Two years ago, during their trip to Philly for the NFC Wild-Card game, the Saints put a bullseye on their bus to sarcastically anticipate Eagles fans throwing things at them.
The Saints, of course, won that game 26-24 eliminating the Eagles in their only playoff game under Chip Kelly, to date. A year and a half later, the Saints are coming back to the Linc.
And so is the bullseye.
"I'll be kind of excited. I like to sit by the bullseye we've got on the bus and see who's got the best aim out there," Saints CB Keenas Lewis said. "I'm definitely excited to see it.
"They kinda missed last time, they hit the wrong window," he continued. "So hopefully they worked on their aim during their training camp as well."
Safety Jairus Byrd is making his first trip to Philly.
"This is my first time actually going up there so I'm looking forward to seeing what they've got and what their aim is like," Byrd said.
Both the Saints and Eagles are 1-3, and while this Week 5 matchup is far from a playoff game, it's incredibly important for the postseason hopes of each team. This time, however, Malcolm Jenkins and Darren Sproles are on the good team.
