EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Saquon Barkley made a memorable return to MetLife Stadium, rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown and turning early jeers to cheers as he led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 28-3 victory over the offensively inept New York Giants on Sunday.Jalen Hurts scored on two tush-push quarterback sneaks and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown as the Eagles beat the Giants for the sixth time in seven games and 14th in 17.
Barkley's 38-yard scamper up the middle set up Hurts' first tush push in the third quarter and his 41-yarder in the fourth quarter led to the second. Barkley's 176 yards rushing on 17 carries - 10.4 yards per - was the second-highest total of his career, and he didn't play much late. His career best was 189 yards against Washington on Dec. 22, 2019.After the game ended, Giants coach Brian Daboll hung around to hug Barkley.
