Saquon Barkley acknowledges the passionate nature of Eagles fans, predicting a lively atmosphere for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams. Barkley anticipates the game will be heated, potentially amplified by recent comments made by Rams player Jared Verse regarding Eagles fans.
Saquon Barkley has experienced the love and the hate, knowing firsthand the kind of passion that exists within Eagles fans.“Probably not the smartest thing to say when you’re coming to Philadelphia. I’ve been on the other side, and even if I felt some type of way, probably wouldn’t give them any extra fuel,” Barkley told reporters Friday. “Pretty sure Philly fans have seen that comment. It was already going to be loud and rocking, so it’s only going to add to it.
Sunday’s Eagles-Rams divisional-round battle at Lincoln Financial Field was going to be heated regardless, but perhaps Verse’s comments will add a decibel level or two.When the Rams played the Eagles in November in Southern California, Verse said he could hear Eagles fans’ taunts even as he wore headphones.Jared Verse #8 of the Los Angeles Rams signs autographs prior to a game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on November 03, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.
