Running back Saquon Barkley returned to MetLife Stadium on Sunday, October 20, and dominated his former team as the Philadelphia Eagles bested the New York Giants by a score of 28-3.

Giants fans were less than welcoming to Barkley, booing him and generally displaying a disdain for the running back that New York selected No. 2 overall in the 2018 NFL draft and who rushed for over 5,200 yards and 35 TDs across six years with the team.

Jason Kelce, a former offensive lineman with the Eagles and current ESPN analyst, took Giants fans to task for their inhospitable reception of Barkley -- unquestionably one of the team's best players of the last decade.

"For the life of me, I don't understand why Giants fans hate Saquon for what happened and not the Giants organization for the fact he is an Eagle," Kelce wrote in an X post. "They have absolutely no one to blame other than the Giants ownership and management decisions for why he is no longer a Giant. Obviously understand their hate of the Eagles, and desire for him not to succeed, just very odd this energy is directed at him more so than the organization."

Barkley signed a three-year contract worth $37.75 million in Philadelphia over the offseason, a deal that New York was unwilling to offer.

The Giants (2-5) clearly miss Barkley, who torched them for 176 yards and 1 TD on the ground Sunday and also made 2 catches for 11 yards. The Eagles moved to 4-2 on the season with the victory.
