In response, Eagles fans have embraced Verse's words as motivation heading into Sunday's game. Before the game, a billboard flashed Verse's quote in Philadelphia. During the game, the stadium riled the crowd up by posting Verse's thoughts of Eagles fans on the big board.

Jared Verse poked the bear. On Sunday, the bear poked back. The bear, in this instance, being the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans. Greeted with boos in Philadelphia, Verse responded in Sunday's divisional round playoff game with two sacks of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
