Barkley Leads Eagles Over Rams with Historic Play

Saquon Barkley delivered a historic performance as the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams 37-20, marking the Eagles' seventh consecutive victory. Barkley rushed for 255 yards, a new Eagles franchise record, and scored two long touchdowns of 70 and 72 yards, becoming the first NFL player since 2009 to achieve two 70-yard TD runs in a game. His total of 302 yards from scrimmage tied for the 10th-most in NFL history, and he now leads the league with 1,392 rushing yards this season. This stellar performance helped solidify the Eagles' position at the top of the NFC East, as they improved their record to 9-2. Barkley's contributions were complemented by Jalen Hurts, who threw for 179 yards and a touchdown. The Rams, now 5-6, struggled against Philadelphia's top-ranked defense, with Matthew Stafford sacked five times.
