Thanks to Sean Payton's lost bet, Saints to sport popular color rush jerseys vs. Eagles

Remember when New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton lost that bet in the offseason to Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson?

Long story short, Payton was paired with Pederson in a charity golf match at the NFL meetings in March. Rather than settle on a buck-a-hole or something mundane, the coaches agreed to bet traditional home colors on the outcome. After a three-hole carryover, Pederson came out on top.

As a result, the Eagles will wear their home green jerseys when the two teams face off at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Saints, on the other hand, will wear their color rush jerseys, which have become quite popular among fans.

Payton also donated $5,000 to the Autism Challenge in Philadelphia.

So, really, are there any losers in this bet?
