Saquon Barkley continued his dream rookie season by racking up 129 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in the Giants’ 33-31 loss to the Panthers Sunday.
The Barkley — Odell Beckham Jr. bromance continued to blossom when the best quarterback on the Giants roster OBJ threw a 57 yard trick-play touchdown pass to Barkley and joined the former Penn State star in his signature celebration.

A Barkley touchdown catch on the sideline and a smooth transition into his classic, arm-waving celebration seems familiar:

Barkley and the Giants take on the Eagles Thursday in a game that will create a loyalty conflict for much of Nittany Nation.
