Eagles running back Saquon Barkley made it look easy on his first carry today against the Giants.
Barkley took a handoff, cut to the left and took off, sprinting 65 yards untouched for a touchdown to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead just 17 seconds into the game.
It was by far Barkley’s biggest play of what to this point had been a sluggish season. Prior to this 65-yard run, his longest run of this season had been just 18 yards. With one carry for 65 yards today, he already has the second-most rushing yards he’s had in any game this season.
The Giants’ offense is going to need to answer on what looks like it could be a very big day for the former Giants star.
