NFL world mocks Giants after Saquon Barkley’s TNF performance

The Philadelphia Eagles took command of the NFC East on Thursday night with a 28-16 victory over the Washington Commanders but it’s actually the New York Giants who are now the center of attention.

Even as Philly fans celebrated the win, they shifted their focus toward Big Blue and publicly shamed them, chanting “Thank you, Giants!” so loudly that the Thursday Night Football Nightcap panel had to pause their segment on live television.

“It feels amazing,” Barkley said. “Last year was a tough year for me mentally.”

It was co-owner John Mara’s worst nightmare realized but it only got worse. The snowball began rolling downhill and before you knew it, everyone from across the football world decided to get their licks in.

An Eagles victory suddenly became about the Giants, Mara, and general manager Joe Schoen. And none of it was good.

The Giants are a laughingstock, they are the butt of every joke, and it doesn’t appear that anyone is holding back. Complete and total humiliation.
