WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Brendan Boyle (PA-13) ) issued the following statement after entering into a friendly playoff wager with Minnesota Congressman Jason Lewis (MN-02). Congressman Boyle is betting that his Philadelphia Eagles will clinch another playoff-game victory this Sunday in the NFC Championship game against Rep. Lewis's hometown Minnesota Vikings. The stakes are high--- Philly's iconic Cheesesteak against Minnesota's Hormel SPAM (in a can).

That was the wager agreed upon by Reps. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) and Jason Lewis (R-Minn.).
