Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Giants’ 28-3 loss to the Eagles at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Hero
Saquon Barkley marked his return to MetLife Stadium with 176 rushing yards on 17 carries, including a 3-yard TD run in the second quarter of the Eagles’ 28-3 win over the Giants.
Zero
The Giants offensive line, with Joshua Ezeudu replacing injured All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas, allowed a season-high eight sacks.
Unsung hero
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts only attempted 14 passes (10-for-14, 114), but he scored two tush-push touchdowns from the 1-yard line in the second half.
Key stat
119 Total yards of offense for the Giants, including a net of 43 on passing plays when accounting for 62 yards lost on sacks.
It was their lowest offensive output since they managed only 112 yards on Sept. 12, 1999, against the Buccaneers.
Quote of the day
“We had 100 yards. Just trying to create a spark. Daniel will be the quarterback going forward.”
