Saquon Barkley is NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season, according to an official announcement.
No surprise here.
Barkley was outstanding in his return to MetLife Stadium for a revenge game against the New York Giants. The star running back had 17 carries for 176 rushing yards (10.4 average) and one touchdown in addition to two catches for 11 receiving yards.
Had the Eagles not pulled their starters early in the fourth quarter due to having a big lead, Barkley easily could’ve surpassed his previous single-game career high of 189 yards.
