The Philadelphia Eagles won a hard-fought victory in the snow when they took on the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs. The final 28-22 score was indicative of a total team win, as both the offense and defense banded together to get the job done.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was injured in the game after taking five sacks, including one for a safety, but that did not shake their resolve. Even star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury and was ruled out.
Despite the adversity and facing a tough Rams defense, the Eagles got the win and are headed for the NFC Championship.
To celebrate the big win, the Eagles are now selling one of the strangest commemorative pieces of merchandise.
The Eagles are selling snow from their playoff game against the Rams
They even went as far as to say that the snow was "carefully preserved and authenticated"

The Eagles are officially selling buckets of snow that were taken from Lincoln Financial Field after their win against the Rams.
The team not only sold the snow, but they have apparently sold out.
The snow was taken from the field's surface and was "carefully preserved and authenticated." The official page for the snow also indicates the snow is:
"Snow collected from the end zone at Lincoln Financial Field after the Eagles' playoff win over the LA Rams. Packaged in insulated containers with dry ice and detailed care instructions."
ABC 6 Action News also indicated that the snow was limited to 100 units and sold out within two hours of being able to purchase.
"Following Sunday's win, snow from the field was collected by the Eagles' grounds crew under the supervision of The Realest's authentication partner, TRuEST, to ensure its certification as official game-day snow," the team said.
There are often moments in sports history where pieces of the field are taken to commemorate a historic moment. For instance, when ballparks get taken out of commission, fans often unscrew and take bleacher seats with them.
Having a tangible piece of a stadium makes a lot of sense. However, snow in a bucket sounds like a recipe for disaster. Hopefully, the instructions that were given to fans who purchased the snow include telling everyone not to put the bucket anywhere near a heat source.
The Eagles have one more win before they make the Super Bowl, but making it to the NFC Championship is still a big accomplishment.
