Saquon Barkley was hit by two words—“The ball.”
The only mistake the amazing tailback made Sunday night was not keeping the historic ball after his 72-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown that gave him a career-best, and Eagles’ single-game rushing record 255 yards rushing.
Buoyed by the exquisite Barkley, the Eagles mowed over the Los Angeles Rams, 37-20, for their seventh-straight victory before a national TV audience at SoFi Stadium.
Barkley ran for second-half touchdowns of 70 and 72 yards, and finished with a career-high 255 yards rushing on 26 carries, with an average of 9.8 yards per carry.
