In case it wasn’t clear yet, Pennsylvania is the most important state in this election. From Nate Silver, “Without Pennsylvania, Biden becomes the underdog”:

And that’s why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are spending so much time there in these final days:
Biden and Harris are effectively splitting up the state of PA on Monday. Biden will campaign in Western PA (in and near Pittsburgh) and Harris in Eastern PA. https://t.co/PpClHgaNca

He proudly told the audience that he married a “Philly girl” and that he was wearing an Eagles jacket:
Joe Biden treats this election like a PA Senate race. He notes that Wilmington, Del., had only Philly TV stations when he started in Senate: “I was very happy to have the moniker of being PA's third senator. I married a Philly girl, by the way. And I’ve got my Eagles jacket on."

His problem, however, is that he’s not wearing a jacket repping the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s actually wearing one with the logo for the University of Delaware Blue Hens:
Fact check: It wasn’t an Eagles jacket as Biden claimed. It was a Delaware Blue Hens jacket. https://t.co/mySRMJ53hi
