When Saquon Barkley signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, this was the game that NFL fans immediately circled.
The star running back will make his return to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this week as the Birds (3-2) take on the New York Giants (2-4) in an NFC East clash.
Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 draft, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Giants, making two Pro Bowls and racking up the fourth-most rushing yards in franchise history. But a contract dispute near the end of his tenure allowed the fan favorite to hit free agency and ultimately sign a three-year, $37.5 million deal with the rival Eagles.

The 27-year-old back has been a bright spot amid a frustrating start for Philadelphia. Barkley ranks fourth in the NFL with 482 rushing yards, and he's averaging a career-best 5.3 yards per carry. He is, however, coming off the worst showing of his young Eagles career, posting just 54 total yards on 20 touches as Philadelphia squeaked past the lowly Cleveland Browns in Week 6.
Is a big revenge game in store for Barkley as the Eagles look to win consecutive games for the first time this season? Or will the Giants' defense bottle up Barkley and send him back to Philly with a loss?
