Eagles

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said Sundayโ€™s game against the Giants isnโ€™t a revenge game and heโ€™s thankful for the Philadelphia organization to give him an opportunity.

โ€œIโ€™m thankful for the opportunity from this organization, from [CEO Jeffery Lurie] to [general manager Howie Roseman] to everybody getting me here. So thatโ€™s the people I have to prove it to, and my teammates,โ€ Barkley said, via ESPN. โ€œAnd at the end of the day, the most important thing is winning, whether I have 300 yards or I have 10 yards, as long as we win. I donโ€™t have that big of a pride or ego that if I go out there and ball that Iโ€™m looking at those guys over there like, โ€˜Look what you guys let go.โ€™ Thereโ€™s no hate over there, but at the same time I do know itโ€™s a big game, an important game.โ€

Barkley referenced the game he tore his ACL in during the 2020 campaign. Barkley was coming off a down performance and put a ton of emphasis on having a turnaround game.

โ€œI was really out there trying to prove everyone wrong, like you guys, the media, everyone was talking crap about me, so I kind of wanted that โ€˜F youโ€™ moment,โ€ Barkley said. โ€œGod works in mysterious ways. Definitely humbled me then and I wonโ€™t let it happen again.โ€
