NFL to donate all proceeds from Eagles underdog T-shirt sales to Philly school fund
The NFL has taken up Chris Long's offer.
The league unveiled a Philadelphia Eagles underdog T-shirt specifically for Super Bowl LII and the team's defensive end challenged the marketing machine to donate all proceeds to charity.
On Tuesday, the league announced 100 percent of the T-shirt sales will go toward a Philadelphia school fund. Joe Holden of CBS3 first received word from the league via email.
