Eagles' Sweat: 'I'd rather play on the shitty Brazil field' than in snow
At least one member of the Philadelphia Eagles wasn't happy with the weather conditions during Sunday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Eagles pass-rusher Josh Sweat sounded off on having to play in the snow following Philadelphia's 28-22 win, saying it was worse than the slippery turf the team dealt with in Sao Paolo, Brazil in Week 1.
"I'd rather play on the shitty Brazil field before playing on that again. I ain't gonna lie to you," Sweat said, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
