That's more like it.
Saquon Barkley didn't take long to make his mark Sunday against his former New York Giants team.
On the second play of the game for the Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley went through the left side, beat the safety and went the distance.
A 65-yard touchdown, marking Barkley's longest run of the year and already his second-best rushing yardage game of the season.
In the process, Barkley tied an NFL record.
All-time great Adrian Peterson had nine career rushing touchdowns of 65 yards or longer.
Barkley now has nine such scores, too, according to Dov Kleiman.

It's quite the encouraging start for the Eagles.
They lost to the Giants just a couple of weeks ago.
And this week, they're without star WR A.J. Brown.
But they've got Barkley, and if he can return to his 2024 ways, it'll go a long way toward Philly avenging that loss.
