Running again Saquon Barkley’s first season with the Eagles has been an enormous success and it now occupies a outstanding spot within the crew’s report e-book.
Barkley set the franchise’s single-season dashing mark when he moved previous the 1,607-yard mark on a 9-yard-run within the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Panthers. LeSean McCoy set that report in 2013, however Barkley wanted simply 12-plus video games to go him and he completed the day with 1,623 yards.
“I believe it’s fairly cool, a very powerful factor was getting a win, and we received the win,” Barkley mentioned, through the crew’s web site. “Being a fan of Shady rising up and seeing the spectacular issues he was capable of do with the ball in his fingers and to have the ability to talked about with him positively means quite a bit. Gotta give credit score to the fellows up entrance. They’ve made my job quite a bit simpler thus far this 12 months. Hopefully, it should proceed.”
Barkley’s 124-yard day has him on tempo to complete with 2,122 dashing yards for the season. That would set a brand new single-season report for the whole league — Eric Dickerson set the mark in a 16-game season in 1984 — and will probably be one thing for Barkley to shoot for over the ultimate 4 weeks.
