On Thursday night, in a Week 11 divisional game, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached 1,000 yards rushing. It’s not the first time he’s ever reached the feat in his career, but it is the fastest he’s ever done it — and with seven weeks left, there will be plenty of opportunities to add to that milestone.
Barkley was stuffed most of the game but had two huge breakout runs for touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. Those TDs sealed the Eagles win and extended their lead at the top of the NFC East. As the RB was interviewed after the game, fans made sure to show their appreciation to the Giants for failing to pay Barkley, which led to him signing with Philly.
