Rob McElhenney is a massive Philadelphia Eagles fan, in case that wasn't already clear.
But the actor put his fandom on display by streaming coverage of their game while at the Emmys.

If it wasn't clear before, it certainly is now: Rob McElhenney loves the Philadelphia Eagles — and he certainly wasn't going to miss watching their Monday night playoff game for another commitment.

McElhenney posted a picture of himself streaming pre-game coverage ahead of his team's clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while attending the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

"Who schedules the Emmys the same night as the @eagles," the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" star asked in a post on X, the social-media platform formally known as Twitter.

The Eagles are playing the Buccaneers away in Tampa Bay in a much-anticipated wild card showdown. It might be a long and agonizing few hours for McElhenney.
