Eagles Edge Panthers, Barkley Sets Rushing Record

The Philadelphia Eagles secured their ninth consecutive victory with a 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, maintaining an 11-2 record and solidifying their position as a top NFC contender. Saquon Barkley, who was signed from the New York Giants, broke the franchise record for most rushing yards in a season, surpassing LeSean McCoy with a total of 1,623 yards after rushing for 124 yards in this game. Despite Barkley's impressive performance, which included his ninth game with over 100 rushing yards this season, the Eagles' offense struggled at times, with Jalen Hurts throwing for only 108 yards. The Panthers mounted a late-game challenge, but the Eagles' defense held strong, with crucial plays from C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Darius Slay sealing the victory. The Eagles will look to extend their winning streak in their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Barkley's performance has positioned him as a serious MVP candidate this season.
