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

This isn’t a surprise for 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 defeat of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. 

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