The Philadelphia Eagles are traveling to MetLife Stadium to face the Giants for their Week 7 matchup. Of course, this is the first time running back Saquon Barkley has returned to New York since leaving in free agency.
When Barkley took the field for the Eagles, the fans gave him loud boos, which only increased after his first carry of the game.
However, Barkley responded in one of the best ways he could. After catching a pass, he barreled straight through the first Giants defended that stood in his way.

Fans Were Burning Saquon Barkley Jerseys
Giants fans didn’t just show their distance for the former running back with their boos, but also their actions.
Reports of New York fans lighting Barkley jerseys on fire outside the stadium were confirmed by Saquin himself.
You have to imagine all this noise is a great motivator for Barkley, who has had a great season, with 482 yards and 5 total touchdowns.
