Saquon Barkley exacts his revenge this time against his former team. Interestingly, the Eagles RB didn’t require a word; his leg did that work for him. Finally, the Eagles grabbed a stunning 38-20 win against the New York Giants, making them realize a gem they had lost.
It took two plays for Saquon to announce his arrival. During the second play from scrimmage, he exploded through the New York front seven, hitting 21 mph on a 65-yard TDS sprint. This game marks Saquon’s first 100-yard rushing game this season, his light-up Eagles’ hope when they missed AJ Brown due to his severe hamstring injury.

It was a golden opportunity for Barkley to prove his caliber after the Giants failed to win the week 6 clash against a team he had played with in the past. They refused to pay him long-term. And many proved it this Sunday, making the Giants realize what they have lost.
The champion led the team with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns, one receiving and the other rushing, before leaving late in the third quarter due to a slight groin tweak. In week 6, the Giants defeated the Eagles 34-17, and Saquon had 58 rushing yards.
> After today’s win, he referenced the Giants and said, _“It’s always great to beat a divisional rival. For sure, we definitely saw how they celebrated when they beat us last time.”_
>
> The running back also revealed that they came into the match with a revenge mindset, a philosophy instilled by their [coaches](https://insidetheiggles.com/saquon-barkley-breaks-silence-on-revenge-mindset-vs-giants-after-dominant-win). “_But I think one of my favorite things Coach Sirianni says is the revenge mindset that lasts for five minutes, and then it goes back to your habit.”_
With this stunning comeback, Saquon really stunningly took his revenge. His defeat against the Giants in Week 6 must have upset him, but now he can celebrate and hope for the best for the upcoming clash.
