Honestly, you couldn't write a better script than this.
Saquon BarkleyThe superstar running back, who once played for the New York Giants and is currently with the rival Philadelphia Eagles, gave the Big Apple an absolutely strong performance against his former team at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. I silenced my haters.
Barkley had 17 carries. 176 mesmerizing yards He averaged 10.4 points and also scored a touchdown. He also had two catches for 11 yards on the receiving end. In fact, his and the Eagles' performance was so dominant that Saquon was able to sit out most of the fourth quarter until the Birds won 28-3.

When Barkley and the Philadelphia offense took the field for the first time, they were booed, and New York's fan base continued to boo Barkley every time he was given the ball. Barkley left the Giants after six seasons and signed with the rival Eagles in the offseason.
That being said, the Boobirds got killed by Barkley on every play and became quieter and quieter until they finally fell silent. Eventually, Giants fans changed tack and expressed their disgust at another bad day by the G-Men's offense.
