The intense heatwave in Nashville created unusual circumstances during the Philadelphia Eagles’ narrow 24-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The oppressive temperatures led to unusual measures. Eagles supporters persisted in the heat as the teams prepared at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The artificial turf resembled a hot stovetop in its intensity.

Players took action to manage the heat. They were seen spraying water onto their cleats for cooling. A lineman from the offensive squad rotated between several pairs of shoes.

Philadelphia Eagles’ Coach Nick Sirianni faced heat exhaustion severe enough to require intravenous therapy to rehydrate.
