Jeffery loves Philly: 'Chicago is just where I was for work'
Add another layer to the Philadelphia Eagles-Chicago Bears rivalry.
The two storied franchises will meet Sunday in the NFC wild-card round, and one star player has a history with both teams.
Eagles receiver Alshon Jeffery has played in Philadelphia for two seasons after spending the first five years of his career with Chicago. To him, there's no question where he's enjoyed playing most.
"I love the city of Philadelphia. Chicago is just where I was for work," Jeffery said Wednesday, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com.
The Bears allowed Jeffery to hit free agency following the 2016 season, and after he signed with the Eagles on a one-year deal, both sides re-upped on a four-year extension in 2017. The wideout helped Philly win its first Super Bowl last season and now eyes a repeat.
