On October 20, 2024, Saquon Barkley made a triumphant return to MetLife Stadium in the United States, showcasing his skills with an impressive performance. The Philadelphia Eagles faced the New York Giants in a contest where Barkley rushed for 176 yards and scored a touchdown, leading to a decisive 28-3 victory for the Eagles. Despite initial boos from the crowd, he quickly turned the jeers into cheers, demonstrating his significance to the team after signing a lucrative three-year contract earlier this year. The match featured another strong performance from Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts, who contributed significantly by scoring on short yardage plays and connecting on a long touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. The Eagles capitalized on their opportunities while the Giants struggled offensively, managing just 119 total yards and one field goal throughout the game. On the other side, Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones had a tough outing, completing only 14 of his 21 passes for 99 yards. In addition to offensive efforts, the Eagles' defense also played a crucial role, recording eight sacks against the Giants' line.

Following this game, the Eagles will look to build on their momentum as they prepare for their next matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, while the Giants aim to regroup before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers.
