The first lady, who grew up just outside of Philadelphia and has referred to herself a 'Philly girl,' attended the game as the Eagles' honorary captain to promote the Biden Administration's Cancer Moonshot initiative. 

But as Dr. Biden, 71, took to the Lincoln Financial Field with cancer survivors and their families for the coin toss, she was met with boos and chants of 'let's go Brandon' - a phrase that has been used to mock the president.

Dr. Biden also led the crowd in a rendition of the Eagles fight song, 'Fly Eagles Fly.' The jeering could not be heard in the snippet that aired on NBC, but in videos posted to social media sounds of the crowd booing the first lady echoed through the stadium at different points in the game. 

Philadelphia fans are known to be loud and obnoxious - with President Biden himself noting in 2021 that 'Philadelphia fans are the most informed and most obnoxious fans in the world.' In 1968, Eagles fans booed and threw snowballs at a man dressed up as Santa Claus.
