Here’s where the local NFL teams rank for social media engagement

Measuring the success of a pro sports team in 2023 includes more than just what happens on the field. Of course, television ratings have always been important, but now you have to win the social media game, too. So, which of the three local NFL teams is the king of social media?

The team that has the best social media presence is the team that’s experienced the most on-field success recently, as well: the Philadelphia Eagles. As a matter of fact, the Eagles are tops in all of the NFL when it comes to social media.
