A scampering squirrel caught on camera made a preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field seem a little less dull Thursday night.
Squirrel jokes – some good, some awful – promptly flooded Twitter as the Eagles went on their way to a 38-31 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Spoiler alert: Matt McGloin inspired many of them.
Here are some examples:
Squirrel has a good motor. Takes a good route to the ball. Impressive. Long shot to make the team but putting together an impressive tape
