"The reigning Offensive Player of the Year felt a sense of relief as he broke off a 65-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage -- by far his longest run of the season. He reached over 21 miles per hour on the play, supporting his statement earlier in the week when he said he still feels like he's the same player from a season ago."
""He hasn't changed. I told him I was proud of him," Mailata said. "He's even hungrier than he was last year. He's not satisfied and he will never let the standard drop. That's probably a major reason why we got that running game going, because even though we haven't been successful, he's been that voice in the back of all the meetings, the most positive voice ever: 'We're going to get it going. I just know it,'""
Saquon Barkley rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown, including a 65‑yard TD, as the Eagles beat the Giants 38-20. Barkley left late with a groin injury after a 28-yard run and did not play in the fourth quarter; he said he might have returned if the score had been closer and expects to be ready after the bye. Barkley's season-long longest run before the game was 18 yards and he averaged 53 rushing yards over the first seven games compared with 125 per game in 2024. Teammates praised his consistency, hunger and leadership in generating confidence in the running game.
