Biden was seen during the Fox broadcast chatting with Goodell in a suite at Lincoln Financial Field, sharing a few laughs as he watched.

This is also the first time since Week 6 that First Lady Biden has returned to “The Linc” since she was apparently booed during the game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Fans also reacted to seeing Biden with Goodell, including former MLB player Lenny Dystrka.

This comes as no surprise to Biden, as she and President Joe Biden are huge Eagles fans. President Biden was at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis when the Eagles won their first Vince Lombardi Trophy in a classic loss to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

They were also present at the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros, which resulted in a victory for the latter.
