Saquon Barkley is NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season

Saquon Barkley is NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season, according to an official league announcement.

Honestly, he deserved this just for the play where he broke two tackles and then jumped over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender BACKWARDS alone. All told, he had 27 carries for 159 yards (5.9 average) and one rushing touchdown ... plus three catches for 40 yards and one receiving touchdown in the Eagles’ most recent win.

This marks the third time Barkley is taking home the NFC POTW award this season. He was previously honored in Week 1 and Week 7.
