Philadelphia will be the center of the NFL universe this weekend as two prominent ESPN shows will make their way to the city to join in on the Eagles-Cowboys hype.
Taking a cue from their Monday Night Football counterparts and for the first time this season, ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown is going on the road from its studio in Bristol, Conn., to Xfinity Live across the street from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia ahead of the Birds playoff-like match-up against the Dallas Cowboys per a press release.
“With the playoffs on the line this week in Philadelphia, there is nowhere we would rather be on Sunday morning,” said Matthew Garrett, ESPN coordinating producer. “We have taken Countdown on the road to some of the NFL’s biggest matchups in recent years and this Cowboys-Eagles rivalry game certainly fits that bill. The passion of Eagles fans is extraordinary and we can’t wait to put it on display this Sunday at Xfinity Live!”
ESPN reporters Sal Paolantonio and Ed Werder will report live from Lincoln Financial Field, while NFL insiders Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter will handle their roles from ESPN headquarters in Bristol.
