Joe Judge coach grew up just outside Philadelphia, so he knows what he’s about to face on Thursday night.

"I’ll probably wear a helmet," he said on Monday with a smile. "My in-laws are already buying batteries."

It may not be that bad. Only a few thousand fans are allowed into Lincoln Financial Field for the game, which means the amount of both debris and insults hurled at the Giants will be fractionally less than what it normally is.
