Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will take on Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars in London on Sunday. Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. and bars around Philly are opening early for the game. Above, the QBs after they played in 2024.
While the Eagles playing in London on Sunday means fans might have to set their alarms for the early-morning kickoff, it's also an excuse to take advantage of brunch specials around the city.
A number of restaurants and bars are adjusting their schedules to take advantage of the 9:30 a.m. start time for the Birds' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After two straight losses, mounting injuries, the abrupt retirement of longtime right tackle Lane Johnson and the surprise trade of offensive lineman Cam Jurgens, it might be time to shake up their pregame traditions to change the mojo surrounding this team. Plus, when's the next time fans can cheer on (or gripe about) their team over morning mimosas?
Here are some restaurants, breweries and bars (and one appliance store) serving up game day specials on Sunday.
