The Birds moved up to the 10th spot in the NFL power rankings — two spots above last week’s rankings. 

What they’re saying: “It was another slow start offensively, but Barkley wasn’t about to be a no-show in his return to New York. … He took over for an offense that was otherwise limited and inflicted some damage against his former team. The Eagles’ pass rush also took batting practice on Daniel Jones.” — Eric Edholm

The Eagles moved up two spots to No. 10 from last week’s Bleacher Report power rankings. They rank behind the No. 9 Washington Commanders.

What they’re saying: “Philly dropped a piano on the floundering New York Giants on Sunday. Former Giant Saquon Barkley did most of the damage. Barkley shredded the G-Men for 176 rushing yards on only 17 carries and found the end zone.” — Gary Davenport

The Eagles moved up four spots from last week’s No. 15 ranking — behind the No. 10 Pittsburgh Steelers and No. 9 Commanders. 

What they’re saying: “That Eagles team we saw against the Giants is the team we expected to see. They put to rest for a week all the talk that head coach Nick Sirianni is in trouble.” Pete Prisco

Despite a win over the Giants, the Eagles didn’t move from last week’s No. 11 spot — sitting behind the No. 10 Commanders. 

What they’re saying: “Among the many things that went well in Saquon Barkley's first visit to the Giants, he clocked 21.93 mph on his 55-yard run Sunday – fastest this year by a running back, per Next Gen Stats.” — Nate Davis
