An Eagles star had to be restrained by his coaches Sunday as Philadelphia pulled out a narrow win over the visiting Saints.
Saquon Barkley scored a go-ahead rushing touchdown with 1:01 left and the Eagles won 15-12.
And after the victory was sealed with an interception by New Orleans’ Derek Carr, Philadelphia second-year defensive tackle Jalen Carter couldn’t help but lecture Saints players and fans.
As Carter spoke to the crowd and also to New Orleans’ Tyrann Mathieu, Eagles defensive line coach Clint Hurtt, head coach Nick Sirianni and head security ‘Big’ Dom DiSandro approached to calm him down.
Sirianni in particular didn’t seem too happy with Carter’s taunts and approached him to seemingly let him know as much.
Jalen Carter was held on the Eagles’ sideline as he celebrated his team’s victory.
Sirianni didn’t seem too thrilled with Carter and approached him to calm him down.
However, the Eagles will be happy to leave New Orleans with a win after their surprising collapse against the Falcons at home last Monday.
Carter racked up four total tackles in the win, leading Philadelphia to 2-1 on the year.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 311 yards in the win, while Saquon Barkley added 147 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
The Saints’ Chris Olave had 86 receiving yards and a touchdown that gave the Saints a late lead around the two-minute mark.
Carter and the Eagles will look to continue their winning ways against the Buccaneers next weekend.
