Saquon Barkley made a spectacular debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, scoring three touchdowns in a 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers during the NFL's Brazil debut. The former New York Giants star rushed for 109 yards and demonstrated his explosive playmaking ability, which the Eagles have been seeking.
Barkley, now the highest-paid running back in Eagles history, aims to thrive in a talented offense alongside players like Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown. While acknowledging the importance of staying healthy, he hopes to have a breakout season with the Eagles.
The Eagles showcased a strong offensive performance under new coordinator Kellen Moore, but the defense faced challenges, allowing significant yardage. Coach Nick Sirianni continues to impress with his winning record in openers. The Eagles will face Atlanta at home for their next matchup.
