Barkley rushed for 119 yards in his first playoff game with the Eagles, and afterward, he expressed admiration for the fans who made the environment special.
aside in the days leading up to Sunday’s 22-10 wild-card win over Green Bay, alerting the NFL’s rushing champion what the playoffs would feel like in South Philly. Barkley played six seasons without experiencing a home postseason game.Barkley ignored it. He played in college at the Linc, played against the Eagles at the Linc, played for the Eagles at the Linc, and even came here with the Giants for a playoff game.
“I want to apologize to the fans. I didn’t think there was another level they could take it to. I’m assuming there’s another level they’re going to take it to next time. I’m super excited. It helps. You can see the impact it has on our games. The beauty is that we’re guaranteed another one.” “We won,” Barkley said. “I think that’s the most important thing. I know a lot of people are going to get into stats, how we perform, or we’re rusty. The reality is in this locker room the only thing that matters is winning football games whether we win 45-44 or 3-0. That’s our mentality and that’s our mentality for the rest of the playoffs. We’re going to stick to that.”
“That’s football,” Barkley said. “That’s playoff football, to be honest. It doesn’t matter how it looks. It doesn’t matter about the stat lines. Only one stat matters and that’s the column with the wins and losses. If you get the win, you advance and get to play next week. That’s the only thing that matters.
