Eagles fan mocks Giants with banner plane for Saquon Barkley in Week 18

Eagles fan mocks Giants with banner plane for Saquon Barkley in Week 18

The Giants may be greeted by another message in the sky during their final regular-season game on Jan. 5 in Philadelphia.

A spokesman for High Exposure Aerial Advertising told NJ Advance Media on Friday that a plane marked “TY NY for No. 26” will fly over Lincoln Financial Field during the contest in another Big Blue troll job.

The banner references Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley, who joined Philadelphia before the season after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Giants.

Barkley, a two-time Pro Bowler, is just 268 rushing yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season record (2,105 yards) with two games remaining.

News of the latest banner, which will appear in Week 18, comes after two different people flew high exposure banners directed at Giants owner John Mara during New York’s last two home games.

On December 8, an anonymous message sender paid for a banner that read, “Mr Mara Enough – PLEASE FIX THIS GARBAGE FIRE.”

A week later, a man identifying himself as “Miguel” paid $1,500 for a banner warning “MR MARA ENOUGH – WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU ALL FIRE.”



The Giants were nearly greeted with a banner over MetLife Stadium for the third straight home game before High Exposure canceled orders for three planes for Sunday’s 1 p.m. East Rutherford finale against the Colts due to weather, the company’s sales manager told the Associated Press The Post.

The Giants are trying to prevent their franchise-record losing streak from extending to 11 games.

A loss would leave them winless at home for the second time in their 100-year history, joining the 1974 team.

They are currently 2-13, the worst record in the NFL, which puts them on the list of top 2025 draft picks.
