Saquon Barkley's outstanding, three-touchdown debut was a reminder of how great he still is, and how great the Eagles can be.
Saquon Barkley has always insisted that he didn't sign with the Philadelphia Eagles just because of the money. It was about the chance to finally play on a good team, behind a powerful offensive line. And it was about getting a chance to remind the world how good he really is. That is exactly what Barkley did on Friday night during his stellar Eagles debut. He scored three touchdowns — two rushing and one receiving. He ran for 109 yards on 24 carries and caught two passes for 23 yards.
He had his share of big plays— like a 67-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown , but it was Barkley that kept the offense moving consistently. He can do that because he really is that talented — a rare running back who can carry a team in this pass-happy era. He won't have to do that all the time in Philadelphia, not with players like Brown, Hurts and receiver DeVonta Smith around him. But just his presence — just the threat of what he can do — clearly opened things up for everyone else.
