    Eagles star back Saquon Barkley filled the Giants with regret, running all over them in a dominant 28-3 win in MetLife stadium.

    Despite being booed all day Sunday, he blocked out the noise and showed why he was paid big time money. He rushed 17 times for 176 yards and a touchdown, while also catching two passes for 11 yards. The Giants had no answer for him as he broke free multiple times throughout the game.

    Jalen Hurts did not have much work to do as the run game was working all day, but he threw for 114 yards and a touchdown on his 14 pass attempts. He also rushed for 22 yards and two touchdowns on the Eagles signature play, the Brotherly Shove.

    AJ Brown handled the majority of the Eagles receiving game, catching five of the 10 completions, for 89 yards and the lone touchdown.

    The Eagles pass rush caused Daniel Jones problems all day, sacking him seven times for 56 yards. They also got home to sack backup Drew Lock one time.

    The Giants got little to no offense all game, producing only 119 total yards on 55 plays.

    Jones was not able to ever settle in, and only threw for 99 yards on 14 completions. He was replaced by Lock midway through the fourth quarter, but Lock only completed 3 passes for eight yards.

    Rushing wise, the Giants tallied 76 yards on 18 attempts. Tyrone Tracy Jr. led that department with six carries and only 23 yards. Next up was Jones with 20 yards, and then Devin Singletary with 18 yards.

    Their receivers did not have much to do, but Malik Nabers returned from his concussion and once again led the way, catching four balls for 41 yards.

    The Eagles are now 4-2 and won back-to-back games for the first time this season. They trail only the Commanders in the NFC East and will travel to Cincinnati to take on an ailing Bengals side.
