The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the top quarterbacks in football, who has led his team to four straight victories, and an NFC East title and a playoff appearance.
Apparently having Carson Wentz isn’t enough to get the NFL’s attention after they inexplicably omitted the Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings from the hype video promoting the 2020 NFL Playoffs.

Twitter is the best and fans from both teams reacted to the glaring omission.

Mike Zimmer says "I don't think anybody believes we can win this game" Sunday against the #Saints. Asked why, Zimmer says they're 8-point underdogs, on the road … and mentioned this video, which doesn't show the #Vikings. https://t.co/SUqbIsJ6C4

The omission is mind-boggling, especially considering the Eagles stary this season, their ability to persevere and they raised the Lombardi Trophy just two seasons ago while appearing in the postseason three straight years now.
