Eli Manning made the trip to Philadelphia to see if his Giants could pull off another upset and reach the NFC title game, but instead, he saw a first-half blowout, and a sea of middle fingers from the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Giants legend was shown on the video board in between cuts of actual Eagles legends, and the fans' cheers for their own quickly turned to loud boos whenever the video switched back to Manning, and then the double birds went up, a callback to when Manning flipped the double bird on a Manningcast in 2021 when he recalled being flipped off by a young Eagles fan.
Manning had already been welcomed to Philly with a billboard giving him a two bird salute, only using two eagles as a nod to the viral moment.
Manning had fun with the moment, egging on the crowd as he heard the boos from his seat at the Linc, but down below on the field, his former team was not having any fun, taking a 28-0 halftime deficit into the locker room.
