The role of a running back? Placed behind the quarterback, he receives the ball from him and must gain as much ground as possible. Job done to perfection this season by Barkley. This weekend, the LA Rams saw all the colors (20-37). The New Yorker’s performance is like XXL, boss size, please. Barkley allowed his team to gain 302 yards, including 255 rushing, a record for the Eagles. No one had managed two runs of over 70 yards since 2009? Barkley did it with fantastic drives of 70 and 72 yards. The icing on the already well-stocked cake: two touchdowns. “The guys in front of me did an excellent jobadvanced Barkley, who had made an improbable jump to avoid a Jacksonville opponent earlier this month. We knew at halftime that there would be possibilities in the race, so we have to have confidence in this plan. I believe in my teammates; They make me look so much better!”
He’s a hell of a player, the best in his field.
Barkley turns every opportunity into a threat. His current stats are the best proof of this. He leads the NFL with 1,392 rushing yards and scored 10 touchdowns. Jalen Hurts, the quarterback, is happy to have him on his team. “He’s a hell of a player.he smiled at the end of the match. He’s the best in the League, the best in his field.”
I’m having fun and I’m ready to play at a high level.
The Eagles do not regret their investment, having offered $37.8 million. The Philadelphia franchise devours its opponents like its fans cheesesteaks. It is not for nothing that the Eagles are first in the NFC East division with nine wins against two losses, with only Detroit having a better record in the Conference (10-1). Enough to make Nick Sirianni’s men serious contenders for the SuperBowl, they who were still there in 2023? If Saquon Barkley continues at his current pace, it doesn’t seem impossible. “I made a new starthe admitted on the NBC microphone. I’m surrounded by a great group of guys. The whole organization is incredible; everyone welcomed me with open arms. I’m having fun and I’m ready to play at a high level.”
