The New York Giants and Washington Redskins put on a show over the weekend, a barnburner of a game going to overtime before the former won, 41-35.
Lost in the fray there is a confrontation of sorts between two superstars. Redskins safety Landon Collins got into some extracurriculars with a Giants player that probably should’ve been flagged before Giants star Saquon Barkley got in his face over it.
“It was a little chippie,” Barkley said, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. “Or like, ‘Chill out … just chill out.’ We had a couple of words for each other but it was all love after the game.”
Barkley noted the two patched it over after the game and even exchanged jerseys. But it’s yet another example of the chippy attitudes between these two teams. That’s not uncommon for the rivalry but it’s taken another step after Collins crossed divisional lines.
Patched over or not, these two will see plenty of each other in the coming years.
