Barkley and the Eagles turned his homecoming to MetLife Stadium into a laugher by the fourth quarter, as the Giants' offense led by Daniel Jones, despite the return of Malik Nabers, spent much of an eventual 28-3 loss to Philly failing to get out of its own ways.

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.

Three hours before the Eagles faced the Giants on Sunday, running back Saquon Barkley walked the dark tunnel halls of MetLife Stadium as he has so many times. He wore a gray shirt with black pants and black shoes, a gray watch on his wrist, as he carried a black bag over his shoulder, Apple EarPods inserted.
