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.

Individually, they’ve both proven themselves invaluable […]

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

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.
