Here’s why a Patriots fan gave Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin a beer after Sunday’s game
Connor Barwin was apparently up for whatever after the Eagles’ 35-28 win over the Patriots.
Not long after the final whistle blew, the Eagles linebacker had a Bud Light in-hand on the field at Gillette Stadium.
How did he end up with a victory brew?
Barwin explained on a Philly radio show, the “Mike & Ike Show on 94WIP.’’
“I go out to the field and warm up by myself early and some Patriots fans—that these stadiums now have access where they’re right up on the field—and they were kind of messing with me. Talking about how I wasn’t going to get any sacks, we weren’t going to win, blah, blah, blah. And I just said make sure you have a beer ready for me after we win.
“Sure enough, we won and they had a Bud Light ready for me, so I grabbed it on my way out.’’
Barwin finished with three tackles and two sacks. The Eagles jumped out to a 35-14 lead early in the fourth quarter, which had many fans at Gillette Stadium headed for the exits.
But these fans stuck around to honor the wager with Barwin, who strode into the tunnel toward the locker room with his beer.
