The No. 26 jerseys and T-shirts were doused with lighter fluid and draped on a fence in the MetLife Stadium parking lot. Mike Carpentieri and his pals have tailgated in lot D-10 for years, so they knew the Philadelphia Eagles team buses would drive directly pass them on Sunday afternoon as they arrived for this game against the Giants.

Saquon Barkley sat on the Eagles’ bus as it entered the parking lot for his first trip as an opposing player to MetLife Stadium. He had his headphones on and was doing his best to drown out the noise — literal and figurative — before facing the New York Giants.

East Rutherford N.J. - If New York Giants co-owner John Mara has been experiencing sleepless nights knowing how much former running back Saquon Barkley has thrived with the Philadelphia Eagles, then he is really in for a rough evening Sunday night.
