Saquon Barkley Hailed by Fans as Eagles Beat Saints amid Hurts, Sirianni Criticism

The Philadelphia Eagles were very close to starting the season 1-2.

The team entered the fourth quarter of its Week 3 matchup trailing 3-0 to the New Orleans and the offense looked dead.

Then, Saquon Barkley took over.

He scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a game-winning one with just over a minute remaining.

This came after he had a costly drop in Week 2 that could have iced the game. Instead, Atlanta marched down the field and won on a final drive.

Barkley finished with 147 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries and officially put that drop in the rearview mirror.

Fans praised Barkley's heroic performance and declared that he had redeemed himself after last week's drop.

Tight end Dallas Goedert also had a strong day, finishing with 10 catches for 170 yards.

Despite the win, fans took to social media to rip into head coach Nick Sirianni for his poor game management.

Hurts was not let off the hook either, despite throwing for 311 yards. He did not throw a single touchdown and fans expressed frustration with the lackluster play.

While it may not have been a pretty win, Philadelphia is now 2-1 and holds a lead over the NFC East.
