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.
