Rams LB Jared Verse lets the world know what he thinks of Eagles' fans

Jared Verse is set to receive a hostile reception on Sunday as he takes to the field at the Lincoln Financial Field wearing the blue and yellow LA Rams colours after his comments this week in an Los Angeles daily.

Speaking to Gary Klein, LA Times journalist ahead of the Divisional round game against Philadelphia, the 24-year-old who spent three years at a Pennsylvania high school claimed: ‘I hate Eagles fans’, adding, ‘they are so annoying, I hate them’.

Not a man to mince his words, the Dayton (Ohio) born linebacker added: 'When I see that green and white (Philadelphia Eagles principal colors) I hate it,‘ he said. ‘I actually get upset. Like I actually genuinely get hot.’

Eagles win regular season clash

It will be the second meeting of the season between the Eagles and Rams when Philadelphia cruised to a 37-20 win and scored on 8 of 10 possessions in Week 12.

The Eagles were one of the best teams in the NFL for much of the regular season and surged to a 12-2 start and finished 14-3 as the NFC East champions.

Los Angeles Rams, on the other hand, lost four of their first five games and sat at 5-6 in the standings but managed to turn things around as they closed the regular season on a 5-1 run to clinch the NFC West.
