Craig Taulman died of lung cancer in September, but he's still attended pretty much every Birds' game -- home and away -- this season.
How? It's all thanks to Eagles superfan, Jamie Pagliei, who has kept his buddy with him during the team's run-up to the NFC Championship.
Pagliei, who is also known as the Philly Sports guy, carries his 45-year-old friend's ashes with him in a small green urn given to him by the family to every game.
"He's carried around in my pouch. I jump up and down and get excited sometimes, so he's a little travel-worn," said Pagliei.
And since his passing, the team went on to win 10 straight games -- only losing once to the Commanders.
Now, the team will face Washington again on Sunday.
But for Pagliei it's more than just a shared love of the Eagles. It's personal.
Pagliei's brother died a couple of years ago and this is a chance to keep both of them close.
"I love the fact that I get to honor Craig in this manner, but sometimes it's hard too. I get choked up thinking about my brother and that he's not here. Not only am I honoring Craig, but I'm honoring my brother and everybody else in my family who isn't here with me to share this awesome experience," he said.
