JOSH HUFF was the first Eagle down the tunnel, followed by Darren Sproles, who completed a brisk trot into the locker room with his helmet still in place, minutes after an angry onfield confrontation with quarterback Mark Sanchez in the waning moments of a 45-17 loss to the visiting Tampa Bay Bucs.
Next came deposed general manager Howie Roseman, flanked by Eagles president Don Smolenski, both looking straight ahead, jaws clenched.
From around the corner, maybe 200 feet away, the ragged sound of angry, booing fans clustered above the Eagles' exit portal echoed into the Lincoln Financial Field corridor.
