Jason Kelce Rips Giants Fans for Reactions to Eagles RB Saquon Barkley
Barkley Torched New York in Return
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.
