NFL Criticized for Poor Turf in Brazil
News summary

Saquon Barkley made a remarkable debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, scoring three touchdowns in their 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers in São Paulo, Brazil. Despite his stellar performance, the game was marred by criticism of the slippery field conditions at Arena Corinthians, a soccer stadium not suited for NFL games. Players from both teams, including Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Packers safety Xavier McKinney, voiced their concerns about the challenging field, which led to multiple slips and missed plays. NFL fans and former players, including LeBron James and J.J. Watt, also criticized the field conditions on social media, calling for better preparation for international games. The Eagles' win and Barkley's performance have heightened pressure on Giants' GM Joe Schoen, who let Barkley go, as the Giants face the Eagles later in the season. This debut game in South America, despite its controversies, marks a significant milestone for the NFL.
