As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Week 19 against the Green Bay Packers on Wild Card Weekend, there’s a specter hanging over the team that has nothing to do with the on-field product or the availability of QB1, Jalen Hurts: Kellen Moore’s interview requests from QB-needy teams around the NFL. That’s right, for what feels […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a chance to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record on Sunday against the New York Giants, but Barkley didn’t play.

Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley faces a rare dilemma as the team rests starters in Week 18 to prioritize playoff readiness.

[…]

Heading into Week 18’s game against the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from becoming the NFL’s all-time leading single-season rusher.

If there’s one thing society seems to be becoming increasingly poor at, it’s sharing — but in the interest of the season of giving, I’m here to make the case that Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson should be crowned co-MVPs and share the NFL’s highest individual award this year. Individually, they’ve both proven themselves invaluable […]

NFL quarterbacks buying expensive Christmas presents for their offensive linemen has become a staple of the holiday season, but in recent years the practice has become a veritable gift-measuring contest — and never more so than in 2024. It seems to be as much about giving as one-upping at this point, but what else would […]

It has looked like for a while that Saquon Barkley would surpass the 2,000-yard threshold as a rusher.

In Week 17, with 167 rushing yards (which was his third most […]

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles’ showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has joined an elite club after eclipsing 2,000 rushing yards for the season during the Eagles’ 41-7 demolition of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Barkley carried the ball a season-high 31 times for 167 yards, pushing his season total to 2,005 yards. His dominant performance not only solidified his […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Saquon Barkley to a three-year, $37 million deal this past March, there was no way that anyone within the organization could’ve expected the former All-Pro running back to have this big of an impact.

The Philadelphia Eagles brutally missed out on extending their winning streak to 11 games this past Sunday, collapsing in the fourth quarter versus the Washington Commanders.
