Saquon Barkley channeled through a human tunnel late in the third quarter and came out the other side for 41 yards, before finally being dragged down by four New York Giants.
Barkley was not only pulling Giants with him, but lugging the Eagles along, too, rushing for a season-high 176 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown in leading the Eagles to a 28-3 victory over Barkley’s former team, the woeful Giants, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Barkley outscored the Giants (6-3) and gained more yards (187) than his former team (119).
In their first NFC East game, the Eagles pushed to 4-2 and look in good position to turn around what has been a tedious first five games.
