Saquon Barkley delivered an outstanding performance against the New York Giants, rushing for 176 yards by the end of the third quarter, including runs of 38, 41, and 55 yards. Averaging 10.4 yards per carry, Barkley is nearing his career-high of 189 yards and has surpassed LeSean McCoy's Eagles franchise record with 659 rushing yards through the first six games of the season. He became the first player since 2018 to record three runs of over 35 yards in a single game. His remarkable effort has helped the Philadelphia Eagles extend their lead over the Giants to 28-3. Jalen Hurts contributed to the Eagles' dominance by scoring two touchdowns with quarterback sneak plays commonly referred to as the "tush push" or "Brotherly Shove." The Eagles' offensive line played a significant role, imposing their will during key drives, including a 10-play, 92-yard touchdown drive that extended their lead.
