Tom Brady said he expected a pro-Eagles crowd. It sounds like he was right.
The Patriots were roundly booed during the pregame Super Bowl introductions.
The Patriots versus everybody? It certainly sounded that way when the team took the field Sunday night.
Boos rained down from the Super Bowl LII crowd inside U.S. Bank Stadium as the Patriots were introduced, audible both on the NBC broadcast and from the press box.

Tom Brady was also booed by fans earlier in the evening when he took the field for warm ups.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Brady said earlier in the week that when the two teams played in the 2004 Super Bowl, it was also a heavily pro-Eagles crowd, and he expected the same thing this Sunday.
Apparently, he was right.
