Saquon Barkley is having a career year in Philadelphia and proving he deserves to be the first running back to win NFL MVP since 2012.

Saquon Barkley is within reach of the NFL rushing record. Here's why he likely won't get the chance to break it.

Jalen Hurts remains in the locker room undergoing a concussion evaluation. That's not a good sign for his availability for the rest of today. Kenny Pickett completed his first three passes, including one for a touchdown to A.

We're entering Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season, and several Eagles are among the league leaders in their respective positions. With two games to play, Saquon Barkley is pacing towards 2,000 and potentially Eric Dickerson's NFL rushing record.

Jalen Hurts has been ruled out of the Philadelphia Eagles' game at the Washington Commanders with a concussion.

After a game against the Steelers that highlighted the passing game, and relegated Saquon Barkley to an afterthought with just 65 yards rushing, the back got back on pace in the chase for a new single-season NFL rushing yards record Sunday afternoon.

Saquon Barkley hit a slight hiccup in Week 15, as the Eagles star running back rushed for just 65 yards on 19 carries. Barkley, who entered Sunday still leading the NFL with 1,688 yards, just amassed his yardage from last week in one explosive run.

Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts might be the most feared backfield duo in the NFL. No disrespect is intended to Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but our guys in Philly take a backseat to now one.
