The 2024 regular season is in the rearview mirror and all that's left before we put the entire year to bed is Super Bowl LIX. While the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for that bid to hoist the Lombardi Trophy,
Barkley wasn't given the chance to top Dickerson's single-season rushing record. But there are two long-standing playoff rushing records Barkley could break Sunday against the Commanders.
Barkley had a good chance at an iconic NFL record in the Eagles' season finale. He was exactly 100 yards behind Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984. Barkley admitted he wanted a shot at it, but he went along with head coach Nick Sirianni's decision to rest all starters in Week 18.
Hours after the Eagles clinched a Super Bowl berth with a dominant 55-23 win over the Commanders in Sunday’s NFC Championship game, Barkley’s longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon, took to Instagram on Monday to recap the sweet family festivities at Lincoln Financial Field.
The NFL's financial landscape is being assessed through awards for the 12th straight year on CBSSports.com now that the Super Bowl LIX matchup is set. These awards differ from the traditional NFL honors because they are from an economic perspective emphasizing 2024 veteran acquisitions.
The running back put together another sensational performance to help the Eagles reach the Super Bowl in his first season with the team.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley missed out on the rushing record, but he could break an even bigger NFL record against the Commanders.
Saquon Barkley is unsure himself why exactly over the final 30 yards of a 78-yard scoring burst through the playoff snow in a run that whipped Philadelphia Eagles fans out of their frigid state and into a frenzy he cradled the football in his left hand and repeatedly smacked his helmet with his right hand.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley sprinted 60 yards for a touchdown on his first carry of the NFC championship game and the Eagles running back had a 4-yard scoring run on his second carry to roaring “MVP! MVP!” chants each time.
“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things you envision, but the most special thing about it was being out there with my family,” Barkley said. “I know I’ve never been there, but I’ve been there so many times in my head.” This, the celebration, the shot at a Super Bowl, was why Barkley signed with the Eagles, he said.
Saquon Barkley decided to only watch from the field as Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown and the rest of his Eagles teammates celebrated and hoisted the NFC championship trophy on the stage. He had to find his family first.
