WATCH: Ed Sheeran wearing Commanders jersey at FedEx Field concert

Ed Sheeran is one of the most popular musicians in the world and has been for the past decade. On Saturday night, Sheeran held a concert at FedEx Field in front of thousands of fans.

FedEx Field, of course, is the home of the Washington Commanders. Sheeran took the stage Saturday wearing a Washington Commanders’ jersey. The jersey, No. 5, is the number of Washington’s Pro Bowl punter, Tress Way.

Don’t get too excited, Tress. Sheeran’s jersey was customized, with “Subtract” on the nameplate.

Here’s Sheeran in action Saturday.

Throughout the night, Sheeran’s fans posted images of FedEx Field on Twitter, and it looked a lot different than a Commanders’ home game.

And here’s another image:

The Commanders would love to see that type of crowd at FedEx Field cheering them on, and suddenly there is hope that success is around the corner.

Daniel Snyder has been Washington’s owner for the last 24 years — all at FedEx Field. Next month, the NFL will vote to likely approve Snyder’s sale of the Commanders to Josh Harris, bringing a new era to the DMV. Harris hopes to recreate those images from Sheeran’s concert at FedEx Field in future seasons.
