US EditionLane Johnson and Saquon Barkley Wonder What’s Wrong with the Eagles’ Offense After Latest Loss
The Eagles suffered their second loss in five days with injuries weakening their defense and Saquon Barkley failing to reach 100 rushing yards for the sixth consecutive game.
- On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants 34-17, marking their second loss in five days and a consecutive setback on Thursday Night Football.
- Saquon Barkley's limited output contributed as he finished with 58 rushing yards and failed to reach 100 yards for the sixth straight game, while injuries mounting on the Eagles defense hampered their ability to stop Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

- Critics have zeroed in on Kevin Patullo as Johnson warned `You can game plan all you want`, while locker-room critics say execution and unpredictability are missing.
