Saquon Barkley, who left the Giants for the Eagles, produced a 65-yard touchdown on the second play and finished with 150 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown in three quarters as the Eagles won 38-20. Barkley had previously rushed for 2,005 regular-season yards and won the Super Bowl. The Giants had hoped rookie Cam Skattebo would provide spark, and Skattebo caught an 18-yard touchdown from Jaxson Dart to tie the game. Midway through the second quarter Skattebo suffered a severe lower-right leg injury with visible misalignment, worsening the Giants’ short-term outlook while they await 2026 development.
"Then he offered a refresher course for Giants fans on the second play from scrimmage on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, running 65 yards for a touchdown in a game the Eagles went on to win, 38-20. He finished with 150 rushing yards and that early touchdown, plus 24 receiving yards and a touchdown catch, all in only three quarters."
"Not good for the Giants, especially given that Barkley had been mediocre this season, failing to rush for more than 88 yards in a game or more than 18 yards on a play in the first seven games. But wait! The Giants seemed ready to move on with rookie running back Cam Skattebo, a dynamo on and off the field, a fan favorite and the best bud of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart."
