Photos of the inflatable rabbit began circulating online earlier this week, and NFL fans reacted instantly. Many mocked the defending Super Bowl champions for using a morale prop while dealing with serious on-field problems.

Several posts targeted the offensive line, which has allowed heavy pressure in recent games. One comment said, “We’re not sad, we just need a good vibes bunny,” pointing to the number of sacks the offense has given up over the past two weeks.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts also became part of the online chatter. A widely shared post read, “What happened? The Jalen Hurts fortune cookie quotes not working anymore?”The reactions showed anger, humor, and disbelief from fans watching a team many expected to dominate again this season.According to reports shared this week, the idea for the rabbit came from players on the offensive line, who asked for something light-hearted to help ease tension before Week 14. The coaching staff approved the request as the team prepared for the Chargers game. Running back Saquon Barkley addressed the ongoing issues while speaking to reporters in Philadelphia earlier this week. Barkley was blunt about how things have felt inside the building. “Honestly, it’s been awful,” Saquon Barkley said. “Ask anybody if they’re being honest, we all agree on that. But the energy in practice and meetings has been good. Now we have to take that to game day.”The mood shift was also confirmed by The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, who reported that the Eagles held what she described as “no-BS discussions” this week, centered on accountability and fixing mistakes before the playoff race tightens.Also Read: Travis Kelce Sends Clear Message Before Chiefs Host Texans In Must-Win Week 14 Game
