New York Giants co-owner John Mara revealed his unexpected reaction to Saquon Barkley's Unisom commercial. The ad playfully mocked Mara's candid "Hard Knocks" admission about losing sleep over Barkley joining Philadelphia.

Barkley's shift from Giants cornerstone to Eagles superstar has reshaped the NFC East rivalry. His three-year $37,750,000 contract with Philadelphia immediately paid dividends, as he amassed 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns across 16 games, at a stellar 5.8 yards per carry.

Barkley finished the season just 101 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's all-time rushing record. He was rested for the final game of the season when the Eagles took on the Giants.
