PHILADELPHIA - Tiki Barber's final game with the New York Giants was a microcosm of the season: big expectations, a quick start, lots of chances and then a major disappointment in the end after being so tantalizingly close.
Barber headed into retirement by rushing for 137 yards and contributing to all four Giants scores. It meant little when David Akers kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give the Philadelphia Eagles a 23-20 win in the NFC wild-card game Sunday.
The performance was typical of the season for the Giants (8-9) in what was definitely Barber's final game and possibly the last for coach Tom Coughlin.
It was a big tease all day.
