It’s a Philly thing.
The stars were out in full force ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys – including the iconic Grammy Award winning group, Boyz II Men.
Before kickoff, the group of Philadelphia natives took the field to perform the national anthem, kicking off the season in style. Boyz II Men are no strangers to the Lincoln Financial Field spotlight, but returned for the first time in years on Thursday.
Take a look:
Wanya Morris, a big Eagles fan, was especially excited for the opportunity. He explained his obsession in an interview with the Eagles’ official site.
‘If we lose, bro … I can’t,’ Morris said. ‘I’m no good until, like, maybe Monday night.’
Morris expressed that the group is all about harmony, something he hoped the Eagles would have when taking the field to start the season.
‘Boyz II Men, when we get on the field, it’s all about harmony,’ Morris said. ‘It’s going to be connected, I’m talking about totally, totally connected. So that’s what we’re trying to start the whole presentation off with and that’s what we’re hoping to give that energy to my team, to have that harmony so we can jell and knock these boys out so that they can know what’s going on for the rest of the season.’
It was a little dicey at times, but the Eagles managed to stave off a potential upset from the Cowboys. In other words, Morris won’t be out of commission until Monday.
