Dak Prescott did not get a warm welcome from Eagles fans in Arizona.
On Sunday, Eagles fans took over State Farm Stadium ahead of Philly’s Super Bowl game against Kansas City.
A truly picturesque day inside State Farm Stadium with the roof open. Online ticket sales had the fan split around 60/40 in favor of Philly and based on the walk in and who is inside already, I’d say that’s true. Can’t go five minutes without an Eagles chant. pic.twitter.com/dnZ1pYBsTs

Eagles fans EVERYWHERE. Feels like 2/3 green in and around the stadium.

Might be a pro Eagles crowd. We will see when everyone gets to their seats. Loud boos for the Chiefs #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/vPgrClOTiz

Before the game, Prescott was honored with the Walter Payton “Man of the Year” award for his charitable work.
Via NFL
Prescott was recognized with the NFL’s highest acclaim.
Prescott was named the 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year at the annual NFL Honors from Symphony Hall in Phoenix, just days ahead of the Arizona Super Bowl.
“Thank you to the NFL, to Commissioner [Roger] Goodell, to Nationwide for recognizing the impact that we as NFL players can have off the field,” Prescott said. “To the Payton family, I have such appreciation for Walter, for your beautiful family that continues the legacy through your charitable work.
“That’s something I’ve always said, that I hope that when I finish this game, they can say he was a helluva player, but he was a much better person.”
Unfortunately for Prescott, he was loudly booed by the Eagles faithful at Stae Farm arena while receiving the award.
