Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni often talks about how much trust this team has for each other, but he’s always sure to point out that it’s not blind trust, it’s what has been earned through months of overcoming adversity and learning from each other. That’s why he trusts his offense in questionable fourth down situations. It’s why he trusts his defense enough to punt the ball away giving an opponent a short field. And, it’s why Saquon Barkley ran for 205 yards in the snow because he trusted the equipment manager’s advice on his cleats.
During the week leading up to Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff game, Barkley was asked how he was planning for the snow with regards to his cleats.
