It was a terrific debut for Saquon Barkley with the Eagles and he was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the fourth time in his career.
One game with his new team is all it took for Saquon Barkley to win the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award. And what a game it was.
He is just the third Eagles running back to win the award in the last 10 seasons, joining D’Andre Swift and Boston Scott . Zack Baun was in the mix for the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after collecting 15 tackles with two sacks in the opening-season win, but that award went to Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson, who had four tackles and two passes defended. His game-winning, 43-yard interception return for a touchdown with 7:35 to play is probably what put him above Baun.
