Saquon Barkley sat on the Eagles’ bus as it entered the parking lot for his first trip as an opposing player to MetLife Stadium. He had his headphones on and was doing his best to drown out the noise — literal and figurative — before facing the New York Giants.

Greg Joseph kicked a 38-yard field goal for the Giants in the final seconds of the first half. Daboll drew some sarcastic cheers early in the fourth quarter when he pulled quarterback Daniel Jones for Drew Lock. A battered Jones finished 14 of 21 for 99 yards, with rookie receiver Malik Nabers catching four for 41 yards.

By then, Barkley and the Eagles had long silenced the Giants crowd, who booed him every time he touched the ball until they were worn down, much like the Giants' vaunted defensive line. Barkley showed that in the first quarter, when he caught a short pass along the sideline and literally ran over Dane Belton.
