Tyronn Lue takes field with Eagles before game

By Rob Riches, Sports Talk Philly staff 

As the Eagles took the field in the lead-up to their Week 2 matchup against Kansas City, they found themselves joined by an unexpected source.

Tyronn Lue, head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, joined the team walking out of the tunnel. In a video from CSNPhilly's John Clark, Lue can be seen greeting players such as Darren Sproles and Torrey Smith as they all head out.

What's not known is if Lue gave a pregame speech in the locker room or met them nearby — as a two-time NBA champion in his playing career with another title as a coach (all while surrounded by some of the greatest to play the game), he knows a thing or two about what teams need to get to the next level.  

Clark eventually catches up with Lue and asks if he's an Eagles fan. A Missouri native, Lue says he's actually a Chiefs fan.

One can only wonder if this is all a metaphor that the Eagles plan on stepping over the Chiefs.
