Case in point: Philadelphia Eagles (sans the below zero temps)

Final two home games of this past season, when the Eagles record going into those games was 4-10 and 4-11:

Keep in mind that Lincoln Financial Field has a seating capacity of 68,532 (69,144 with standing room only tickets).

Week 15: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Date: December 13
Game time: 8:20 p.m. EST
Game weather: 36 °F (2 °C), cloudy
Game attendance: 69,144


Week 16: vs. Washington Redskins

at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Date: December 23
Game time: 1:00 p.m. EST
Game weather: 40 °F (4 °C), sunny
Game attendance: 69,144


Eagles fans have gotten a bad rep over the years, but one thing that can't be denied is their love of and loyalty to their team...winning or losing.
