The Los Angeles Rams experienced the cold Philadelphia hospitality before they even arrived at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
The Rams will face the Eagles this Sunday afternoon in a bid to advance to the NFC Championship Game. They should expect a hostile environment, especially as fans were waiting for them outside of their hotel to heckle them while they made their way to their team bus ahead of the fixture.
You can see the wild scene in the video below:

A Los Angeles Rams Star May Have Triggered This Outburst
This incident comes after Rams linebacker Jared Verse expressed his hatred for Eagles fans last week, branding them “annoying.”
“I hate Eagles fans,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.”
He has even more reason to dislike them now, although their actions may have been based on them catching wind of what he said.
It will be an intriguing matchup between the Rams and Eagles, as their defenses are expected to have a significant bearing on the fixture.
The Eagles had the best defense in the NFL throughout last season, while the Rams put on an impressive defensive display against the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card Round last weekend.
It’s going to be interesting to see who comes up with the most important stops this Sunday.
