Saquon Barkley returns to MetLife Stadium this Sunday to face his former team. The New York Giants let Barkley walk in free agency and he landed in the Birds nest. Now he finds himself on the other side of this rivalry for the first time in which the Giants are 4-15 in the last ten years versus Philadelphia.
Barkley says he has nothing to prove and will treat this game like any other game on the schedule. But the Eagles look to make it two in a row and improve their record to 4-2 on the season. The Giants have the 9th Best Scoring Defense in the NFL and lead the NFC with 26 sacks. Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts need to have a good game and build on last week's performance, zero turnovers, and a QB rating of 126.1.
