Saquon Barkley carries Eagles to win over Saints after costly Falcons drop
NY Post
Saquon Barkley atoned for his costly drop last week against the Falcons with two more touchdowns — both in the fourth quarter — in the Eagles’ comeback win Sunday over the Saints.
The former Giants star scored touchdowns of 65 and 4 yards, the latter with 1:02 remaining, to lift Philadelphia to a 15-12 win in New Orleans.
The 27-year-old Barkley now has 351 rushing yards and five total touchdowns for the Eagles (2-1) after signing a three-year contract worth $37.75 million in free agency in March.
Barkley had said that he “let my team down” with a key drop that would have iced the game late in the fourth quarter of a 22-21 giveaway loss to the Falcons.
The Eagles handed the Saints their first loss.

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
