Saquon Barkley Aiming for Eagles Rushing Record

Saquon Barkley, who recently signed a $26 million guaranteed contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, is on the verge of breaking the franchise's single-season rushing record. With 1,499 rushing yards so far this season, Barkley needs just 108 yards against the Carolina Panthers to surpass LeSean McCoy's record of 1,607 yards set in 2013. Additionally, if he maintains his current pace, he could challenge Eric Dickerson’s all-time NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards. Barkley has been a key contributor to the Eagles' success, helping the team to an impressive 10-2 record and consideration for the MVP award, while ranking third in the league with 11 rushing touchdowns. The Panthers, who have the worst run defense in the league, may provide Barkley with an ideal opportunity to achieve these milestones this week. Barkley expressed his desire to leave a legacy within the franchise, acknowledging the historical significance of his potential achievements.
