Eagles fans burned the jersey of their former wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, before the game against the Redskins.

The Philadelphia Eagles have always had one of the most hostile crowds of any NFL team. They’ve thrown snowballs at Santa and even have set Cowboys fans’ cars on fire in the parking lot before.

With a former player returning in Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson on Saturday night, the Eagles fans haven’t forgotten how he left for the Redskins a while back.

Before the two teams faced off against each other on Saturday night, a group of Eagles fans decided to burn a DeSean Jackson jersey in the parking lot, because Eagles fans.

It’s safe to say that the Eagles fans don’t forgive and don’t forget, which makes their rivalries with teams in the NFC East all the better.

Burning a jersey in the parking lot is going a little far, but that’s always been what Eagles fans do. They aren’t going to be warm or welcoming to the visiting team. They’re going to do their best to make it as unpleasant for 60 minutes of football.

The Redskins have a chance to clinch the NFC East in Philadelphia on Saturday night, but rest assured the Eagles fans will probably go crazy if another team clinches a division in their stadium.
