It's all about the game, and how you play it.
On January 12th, the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs. With the game hanging in the balance, Philadelphia’s defense stepped up in a big way. Quinyon Mitchell sealed the deal with a key interception late in the game, then added a playful tribute to WWE’s Triple H by attempting a Pedigree on Cooper DeJean.
Though the execution wasn’t flawless, fans from the wrestling world still appreciated the effort.
In the end, the Eagles secured the victory, defeating the Packers 22-10.
Triple H himself couldn’t resist commenting on Mitchell’s wrestling-inspired moment. With a chuckle, he tweeted that it was a perfect example of why the WWE always warns, “Don’t try this at home.” He also offered congratulations to Mitchell and the Eagles for their postseason triumph.
There’s a reason we say ‘Don’t try this at home’…congrats on the win Quinyon & @Eagles! https://t.co/HNr3Al33Cc

This wasn’t the first time the Eagles had crossed paths with WWE. When Philadelphia hosted WrestleMania XL, Eagles stars Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson made their own mark on the event, helping Rey Mysterio and Andrade defeat Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar in an exciting match.
