PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles running back Saquon Barkley set a new franchise record for single-season rushing yards Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Barkley entered the day needing 109 yards to move past LeSean McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013.

He moved into first place midway through the fourth quarter with a nine-yard gain. Chants of "MVP!" broke out as his achievement was announced in the stadium.

"That's something, once I got here, I looked up the history of the Eagles running backs," Barkley said this week.
