Barkley totaled 176 rushing yards on Sunday, which — adding insult to injury — was the most he has ever run for in the stadium he called home for six years. His career high (189 rush yards) was well within reach, but Barkley opted not to come back into the game, save for one play. Barkley re-entered for the fourth-and-goal “tush push” play that got Jalen Hurts into the end zone in the fourth quarter.
Barkley set the tone early, delivering a big blow on his first catch of the game, scoring on a 3-yard TD run in the first quarter and ripping off runs of 55, 38 and 41 yards — three of the Eagles’ four longest plays in the game.
