The Eagles are one of the teams being impacted by a COVID-19 outbreak and their Week 15 matchup against Washington is slated to be moved to Tuesday evening.
Fans and players alike aren’t happy about the postponement and Twitter reactions are always among the best.

Eagles star right tackle seems confused as well.
Family Watch party now a disaster
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (8) cannot complete a pass with pressure from Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (2) in the second half. The Eagles defeat the Jets, 33-18, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021, in East Rutherford.

Of course this game is postponed. The family is supposed to have our 3rd annual “football watching party” on Sunday but now the 2 games we were gonna watch at 1:00 are postponed. We couldn’t even do this last year and now it’s not worth having again. #nfl #eagles #FlyEaglesFly

Just flew to Philadelphia from Cali for my first ever #Eagles game on Sunday against #WashingtonFootball.It’s postponed to Tuesday and we can’t go. Guess I’m just screwed. So glad #NFL said they wouldn’t postpone games when we made these plans at the beginning of the year.

If they postpone the game I’m boycotting this is legit madness. How do you make the #Eagles play on a short week for another teams outbreak!?!?!?
