Saquon scores the Giants' first touchdown, set up by his 55-yard run

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Saquon Barkley refused to be turned away.

Playing in his first game at MetLife Stadium since joining the rival Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley scored from three yards out midway through the second quarter to give his new team a 7-0 win over the New York Giants.

Barkley's momentum on the inside was initially stopped, but he kept his legs moving and his teammates helped push him into the end zone for his fifth rushing TD of the season.

Barkley set up the score with a 55-yard run down the left side – his longest run at MetLife since a 68-yard touchdown on Dec. 29, 2019 against the Eagles.

When Barkley and the offense first took the field, the crowd whistled heavily, letting Barkley hear it every time he touched the ball.

However, that didn't stop Barkley from making the impression that Giants fans have come to expect during his six years in New York.
