Saquon Barkley-Landon Collins blowup ends with postgame gesture

LANDOVER, Md. — There was a moment in Sunday’s 41-35 overtime victory over the Redskins when Saquon Barkley and Landon Collins went face-to-face and were not exchanging pleasantries.

“I don’t think I can say,’’ Barkley told The Post, not wanting to reveal what he said to Collins because he did not want to use profanity.

It was late in the second quarter and Daniel Jones got hit, and then hit again by linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Barkley, Sterling Shepard and several offensive linemen came to Jones’ defense. When Collins, the former Giants safety, yanked tight end Kaden Smith down from behind, Barkley confronted Collins.
