Pennsylvania woman – outraged moment caught on camera during filming Sunday, they suffered an embarrassing loss to the Arizona Cardinals. It perfectly captures the frustration of Eagles fans around the world, and they’re speaking out after taking the internet by storm.
“It’s just weird. I still don’t really believe this is happening,” Jasmine Jones told NBC10 on Tuesday. “I’m just a mom who loves the Eagles.”
Jones, a retired teacher who lives in northeastern Pennsylvania, took her three sons and a cousin to Sunday’s Eagles-Cardinals game at Lincoln Financial Field as a Christmas gift and part of a family tradition. .
“I’ve been a fan my whole life and this was just an annual game for us,” Jones said.
Despite the Birds’ recent struggles, many Eagles fans expected an easy win against the Cardinals (one of the worst teams in the NFL) on New Year’s Eve. The result didn’t matter, as the Birds blew a 15-point lead and ultimately lost 35-31 to the Cardinals, their fourth loss in their last five games.
Dissatisfaction among Eagles fans was evident even before the loss. With the game tied at 28-28 with just over three minutes left, quarterback Jalen Hurts ran the ball twice when the Eagles had the ball on first and 20 base. It was at that moment that Jones was caught on camera in the stands yelling, “What the hell are you doing!”
“A tied game. I think there were about four minutes left. And it was 1st and 20 and Jaylen ran the ball on 1st and 20, which is something I wouldn’t want to do,” Jones said.
Seemingly within minutes, Jones’ moment of anger turned into an internet meme embodying the confusion and anger Eagles fans have been feeling for the past few weeks.
“My cell phone started exploding right after I kicked the field goal,” Jones said.
From news and sports articles to merchandise, Jones’ moments captured on camera appeared everywhere.
“My son runs into the room. He’s like, ‘Mom, mom, oh my god!’ And he said, “I just saw it on YouTube! ”’ Jones said.
Jones told NBC10 that her son had similar reactions to the Eagles games on the 1st and 20th that she had.
“He was crying at that moment too, ‘What’s going on? Why are we doing this? ” Jones said.
With the playoffs set to begin in a few weeks, Jones, who is passionate about everything from the Eagles to her son’s T-ball games, remains hopeful the Birds can still reach the Super Bowl, especially if they take her advice. There is.
“I hope Nick learns this and understands this,” she said. “I don’t know as much as some people, but I know you shouldn’t be running on first and 20 in a tied game with four minutes left.”
