1) Saquon Barkley’s Sunday Night effort is one of the best single-game performances in NFL history

Look, I’m not saying MVP… but I’m also not saying MVP.

Saquon Barkley rushed for an Eagles’ single-game record 255 yards on Sunday Night Football at SoFi Stadium, including 182 yards after halftime.

Barkley did most of his damage with two monstrous touchdown runs in the second half – first with a 70-yarder to open it up on the first play after halftime, and later with a 72-yard run to put the game away completely to switch. of range late in the fourth quarter.

The 2024 free-agency acquisition became the first player in NFL history with multiple rushing touchdowns of more than 70 yards in the second half of a single game.

Barkley is only the 13th player in NFL history to top 300 scrimmage yards in a single game, and only the second to do so in a primetime game (joining Flipper Anderson in 1989 against the Saints).

The Giants’ former first-round pick is on pace for 2,151 rushing yards at his current clip… that is, if he plays the rest of the season. With the way the Eagles are rolling and the Commanders are faltering, the Eagles may not have any reason to play Barkley in Week 18…oh wait, the Eagles face the Giants in Week 18. That would be a special way to achieve this, a 2,000-yard season.
