PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Eagles tailgaters had to deal with some wet weather before the Birds' crucial game against the Giants on Monday.

"This is probably the lightest tailgate I’ve ever seen," said Bruce Ciallella outside of Lincoln Financial Field. "It's pouring rain."

After all, the Eagles are fighting for their playoff lives.

"Let’s get in the playoffs and see what happens, catch a little lightning in a bottle," Ciallella  said. "It’s happened before. Let’s do it."

Let’s be real. No one would be out in this weather if they didn't want to see the Birds make it.

That's how Ray Kreilick feels.

"From seeing this team having performed miracles in the past, I wouldn’t put it past them to do something special in the playoffs," he said.
