Enemy Reaction 2017: Conference championship weekend

The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles defended their respective home fields and advanced to Super Bowl 52. While the Jacksonville Jaguars squandered a 10-point 4th quarter lead, the Minnesota Vikings ceased playing any form of competent football after going up 7-0. Perhaps they thought Stefon Diggs’ miracle touchdown against the New Orleans Saints gave them a 40-point head start against the Eagles, and if they did, they’re sorely mistaken.

Let’s get to Enemy Reaction for conference championship weekend.

I don’t know about you guys, but I think the Cowboys actually stole the show here.

As I teased last week, there’s a special Enemy Reaction in the works that is very Seahawks-specific and I’m sure will make for a fascinating retrospect. After that, we have the Super Bowl to close out another year of E.R. on Field Gulls.

Thanks for reading and go ‘Hawks!
