Commanders fans dress Rocky in burgundy and gold prior to NFC Championship Game
No football team from the nation’s capital has played in an NFC Championship Game since 1992.
The Commanders are back in the NFC title game and are making mistakes like they have never been here before.
Images and videos are out of the Rocky Balboa statue outside the Art Museum decorated in Commanders’ burgundy and gold, decked out in Commanders gear with a sign that says “Yo Adrian, HTTC” (hail to the Commanders).
#Commanders fans have dressed the Rocky statue. We’ve all read this story before 👀 #Eagles

This is getting out of hand. How are these people unaware of this curse? It is almost like the last two NFC Championship Games that have occurred in Philadelphia this same scenario happened, and the Eagles won by a combined score of 69-14.

They may never learn, and I never want them to.
Eagles by a million.
