Saquon Barkley Proves Once Again That He’s Really, Really Good at Football

Saquon Barkley is now the favorite for Offensive Player of the Year.
PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOVEMBER 14: Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (26) runs for a touchdown during the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders on November 14, 2024 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. (Photo by Andy Lewis/Icon Sportswire)

Update: With this run, Barkley broke the Eagles’ franchise rushing record with 255.

At this point, people who watch Philadelphia Eagles games don’t do so wondering if Penn State legend Saquon Barkley will do something spectacular: they wonder specifically what he will do.

He probably won’t do anything to top hurdling a defender while running backwards, which he accomplished against the Jaguars Nov. 3.

But he’s followed up that moment with a pair of 100-yard games in the next three weeks.

Against the Commanders this past Thursday, Barkley exploded for 146 yards and two scores on 26 carries. He broke 100 again 10 days later on a 70-yard touchdown run against the Rams in LA. That run put Barkley at 143 yards on just 14 carries.

Barkley came into Sunday night’s game second in the NFL in rushing (1,137 yards), and tied for sixth in the league in touchdowns (six) while averaging 5.8 yards per carry.

Watch and enjoy, Penn State and Eagles fans.
