The Eagles offense has been forever changed with the signing of Saquon Barkley. He’s put up monster performances week after week, and in Week 12 against the Rams, the RB set a franchise single-game rushing record and set a new career-high with 255 rushing yards.

That’s incredible!
And, if that wasn’t impressive enough, Barkley had another 47 receiving yards bringing him to an insane 302 total offensive yards in the primetime matchup.
It’s no secret that the Eagles have been leaning into the run game much more after the bye week — in no small part to the offensive linemen speaking up about their strengths. Barkley has always been an elite player, but combined with the Eagles’ front five, he’s exceptional and unstoppable.
Heading into this game, A.J. Brown admitted that Barkley finally topped Derrick Henry on his list for MVP, and it’s safe to assume Sunday’s performance is only going to boost that ranking.
Barkley now has 1,392 rushing yards and 8 TDs through 11 games, and 1,649 total yards from scrimmage. He leads the league in total offensive yards, and is on pace to continue absolutely demolishing personal, team, and league records through the rest of the season.
Thank you, Giants. Saquon Barkley really is one-of-one.
