Darius Slay, Fletcher Cox reacts to playing the home opener vs. the Rams without fans

Lincoln Financial Field will be rocking on Sunday afternoon as the Eagles take the field for their home opener against the LA Rams. The crowd noise will be electric and unfortunately, it’ll be pumped in crowd noise after the city of Philadelphia decided against allowing fans into Lincoln Financial Field for the foreseeable future.

On Thursday Eagles players like Darius Slay and Fletcher Cox weighed-in on the lack of fans, focusing on bringing their “own energy” to the contest because they won’t be able to depend on the crowd noise.

No fans are allowed in the stadium due to public health restrictions on gatherings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and city leaders this week banned tailgating and gathering outside the stadium as well.
