The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a big match-up on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams, a game that will feature a pair of impressive young quarterbacks in Carson Wentz and Jared Goff. Eagles fans are sure to pack the stadium in L.A. similar to their game against the Chargers earlier this season. On Friday at Eagles practice, they were visited by five-time NBA champion, Kobe Bryant. Originally from Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia, Bryant is still an avid Eagles fans and even avoids talking trash to his friends that are Cowboys fans out of superstition. Bryant shared with the team some advice on how to approach the upcoming games as the Eagles prepare to secure their first postseason appearance and NFC East division crown since the 2013-14 season.
