Saquon Barkley has eye-popping 302-yard game for Eagles as Giants’ season is falling into despair
NY Post
As the Giants season falls further into despair, Saquon Barkley continues his career season with his new team.
The former Giants running back helped the Eagles capture a 37-20 win on Sunday night and finished the game with 302 total yards in another impressive performance.
Barkley had 255 yards on the ground alone – a new career high – and scored two rushing touchdowns, marking the second consecutive game he’s had multiple TDs and the fourth time this season he has done so.
His rushing total on Sunday night was also been an Eagles single-game record.
The back brought his season total to 1,392 rushing yards, which is also a new career best. The Giants, who dropped to 2-9 with an ugly 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, have rushed for a total of 1,275 yards this season.
Barkley’s explosiveness was on full display with his two touchdown runs that came in the second half of the Eagles’ victory.
Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.

PHOENIX — You think of Tom Thibodeau, you think of defense.
It feels right that on the day we celebrate Aaron Judge joining an elite pantheon of athlete — the multi-time winner of the Most Valuable Player award — that we take a walk back to the beginning, when Judge was little more than a 6-foot-7, 280-pound curiosity who mostly specialized in striking out.

PHOENIX — Jalen Brunson didn’t want to comment on the NBA looking into his father’s promotion and contract as a potential salary-cap circumvention, but the point guard certainly had a message to anybody questioning Rick Brunson’s coaching credentials.
