After bouncing off a tackle attempt by Cleveland’s Ogbo Okoronkwo, Barkley lowered his head as he was confronted by Browns defensive tackle Maurice Hurst. Players lowering their heads has been a point of emphasis this season by the NFL rules committee and the league is enforcing it by issuing fines.

Becton, a first-round pick by the Jets in the 2020 NFL draft, missed a significant amount of time due to injuries to his knee, shoulder and ankle during his stint in New York, including most of the 2021 season and the entire '22 campaign.

Saquon Barkley makes his return to MetLife Stadium on Sunday against his former team, the New York Giants, for the first time since signing with the Eagles in the offseason. But the visit isn’t just a reunion for Barkley.

The Saquon Barkley Show is coming back to MetLife Stadium and it could be the most anticipated game on the New York Giants' schedule. The fact that the Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) are at the Meadowlands to face the Giants (2-4) in this heated New Jersey Turnpike rivalry game is not as important.

Barkley is back. The face of the Giants since being drafted No. 2 overall in 2018 and becoming the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, the star running back is now an Eagle. He signed a three-year, $37.5 million contract in March and this will be his first game against his former teammates.

Becton is one of many to vent frustration with the turf at MetLife, which seems to be universally regarded as worse than the norm. Becton was with the Jets for four years and suffered a number of injuries, including a series of knee problems that started in the 2021 season opener in Carolina.

Becton said he hates playing in New York, but his real beef is with his former team who dumped him after four injury-plagued seasons.
