The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles are bitter division rivals. There’s no love lost when these two square off and battle it out, and the Giants made that known while they were warming up for Sunday Night Football on Lincoln Financial Field.
The team picked an interesting place to huddle up before the game. They stood directly over the Eagles logo and decided to set up shop there.

And after huddling up, Giants players—Jameel McClain, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jason Pierre-Paul, among others—decided to jump up and stomp on the Eagles logo.

The action was likely meant to fire up the Giants before they took the field. Unfortunately for them, it backfired and had the adverse effect. The Eagles came out with a purpose and manhandled the G-Men—jumping out to a 20-0 lead at halftime.
