All eyes were on Saquon Barkley as he wowed fans and set records with 302 total yards and two touchdowns in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday night.
Barkley’s 255 rushing yards tonight set a new record for the most in a single game in Philadelphia Eagles history. His total also surpassed the entire Giants offense, which combined for just 245 yards in both rushing and passing.

Philadelphia Eagles @EaglesSaquon Barkley has set an Eagles single-game rushing record AND career-high with 255 yards‼️@saquon | #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/8spJ32UbFz
The win pushed the Eagles to 9-2 on the season as the Rams fell to 6-5.
Jalen Hurts completed 15-of-22 passes for 179 yards, with one touchdown, but the team’s performance was eclipsed by Barkley’s outstanding play.
The seven-year running back finished Sunday night’s game with a season total of 1,392 rushing yards, surpassing Derrick Henry for first in the league and shattering his previous career best of 1,132 rushing yards, with six games still remaining in the season.
The veteran is also on track to break his career record for most touchdowns in a single season, which was 11 in 2018 – he currently sits at nine touchdowns.
Alongside Barkley, the Eagles sit in first place in the NFC East, with fans grateful for the former New York Giants’ addition this season as he enters MVP conversations and continues his record-breaking season.

Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAPPlayers with 4+ runs of 50+ yards in a season in last 10 years:
Saquon Barkley 4 in 2024
Justin Fields 4 in 2022
Barkley 6 in 2018
Mike Giardi @MikeGiardiBarkley should not only be in the MVP conversation but a front runner. He, Josh Allen, and Lamar.

Bryn Swartz @eaglescentralWe honestly do not deserve Saquon Barkley. We really don’t. He’s an absolute gift. One of my all-time favorite Eagles players.

Mitch Goldich 🐙 @mitchgoldichSaquon has 1,392 rushing yards in 11 games, an average of 126.5 per game.
If he kept that up for a full season, it would be the 12th best rushing season of all-time by YPG.

Barkley will continue his pursuit of a record-setting season as the Eagles face the Baltimore Ravens on the road next Sunday.
