But Barkley's 55-yard run set up the Eagles' first touchdown and A.J. Brown added a 41-yard TD on 4th-and-3 helping the Eagles to a 14-3 lead over the Giants, who got a field goal with 5 seconds left in the first half.

Philadelphia sacked starter Daniel Jones seven times for a total loss of 56 yards and added an eighth sack on backup Drew Lock, who entered the game early in the fourth quarter. New York finished with only 119 yards of offense.

First of all, the Eagles won by enough points, 28-3, so head coach Nick Sirianni didn't have to taunt fans for booing him and his team. It was the Eagles' most lopsided regular-season win since a 26-point beatdown of the Giants in Dec. 2022. That was followed by a 31-point win over the Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs a month later.

The New York Giants are sticking with Daniel Jones as the starter and that’s a very risky gamble the regime can’t afford to lose, literally.

Saquon Barkley destroying the Giants on Sunday in his return to MetLife Stadium perhaps overshadowed the bigger picture: This was yet another loss for the third-year Brian Daboll/Joe Schoen regime to their team’s two biggest NFC East rivals — the Eagles and Cowboys.
