Little did Verse know that his tune was about to change.

Verse posted the heartfelt letter on social media, expressing a hint of regret for his relentless criticism of the Eagles and their fan base. 

"Guess I should've opened this before the game ... Hope you still a fan," he captioned the photo.

The letter read:

"Dear Jared. Hello from a Philadelphia Eagles Fan! And a 66 year old one at that. (retired lawyer)

"I was watching the Eagles Rams game and saw you help up a knocked over camera man. Really help him and then made sure he was ok. I've watched way too much football in my day and that very atypical!!

"So I thought 'who is this guy?1 and watched your play the rest of the game. No news to you but you are an AMAZING player and I wish we had you in Philly.

"Later on I saw you flatten 350 lb Jordon Mailata on the Eagles OL. Crazy. Went on WIKI and saw your background. Impressive.

"So, Merry Christmas and wishing you and the Rams well - hope to see you in the playoffs. Good luck and good health. I'll be following you from now on."
