Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is seeking his first NFC East division title in his first season with the team. Barkley, who spent his previous six years with the New York Giants, expressed his desire for the accomplishment while emphasizing the importance of playoff success. Meanwhile, Eagles linebacker Zack Baun, a recent free-agent signing, reflects on his experience winning the NFC South with the New Orleans Saints in 2020, highlighting the significance of achieving division titles.
PHILADELPHIA – Six years in New York with the Giants and Saquon Barkley never experienced winning an NFC East title. The Eagles running back did get a little taste of the playoffs as a wildcard in 2022, but the Giants merely served as a speed bump for the Eagles on their way to Super Bowl LVII.
“The beauty of winning the division? You guarantee yourself a home playoff game. I say that’s a big difference. We do what we gotta do, that will take care of itself.” The Giants’ lost to Philly in the divisional round, 38-7. Barkey’s recollection of that game was a 39-yard run he ripped off in the third quarter to the Eagles’ 41, a drive New York finished with a touchdown, which was their lone score in the blowout loss.
