After the Philadelphia Eagles win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, a drunken fan snuck into the post-game press conference to ask head coach Doug Pederson about the New York Giants and Eli Manning.
After the fan nearly-inaudibly asked, “Doug, meeting Eli [Manning] next weekend, what do you think?”
Pederson is clearly stunned by the question. He responds, “Timeout. Who is this? Is he credentialed?”
As it turns out, he was not. Pederson stopped the press conference until the man was removed by the Eagles’ security team. This situation could’ve turned out much worse, as the drunken fan’s question was rather mild.
Manning will likely not start next weekend for the Giants, as Daniel Jones is healthy again. It is safe to say Pederson probably hadn’t thought too much about Manning after staying alive in the NFC East divisional race.
