An Eagles star had to be held back by his coaches on Sunday as Philly pulled off a close win over the Saints on the road.
Saquon Barkley scored a go-ahead rushing touchdown with 1:01 remaining and the Eagles went on to win 15-12.
And after the win was sealed with an interception from New Orleans’ Derek Carr, Philly’s second-year defensive tackle Jalen Carter couldn’t help but give Saints players and fans an earful.
As Carter jawed at the crowd and also New Orleans’ Tyrann Mathieu, Eagles’ defensive line coach Clint Hurtt, head coach Nick Sirianni and chief security officer ‘Big’ Dom DiSandro came over to settle him down.
Sirianni in particular didn’t seem too pleased with Carter’s taunting and got in his face to apparently let him know.

Nonetheless, the Eagles will be happy to come out of New Orleans with a win after their shocking collapse against the Falcons at home last Monday.
Carter racked up four total tackles in the victory, which moves Philly to 2-1 on the year.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 311 yards in the win, while Saquon Barkley added 147 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
The Saints’ Chris Olave had 86 receiving yards and a touchdown which gave the Saints a late lead around the two-minute mark.
Carter and the Eagles will look to keep rolling against the Buccaneers next weekend.
