The Saquon Barkley-led Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in a close and exciting Divisional Round playoff game. The Eagles will advance to the NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a huge play to start the game with a 44-yard touchdown run. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, a game-wrecker all year, forced a fumble and a crucial sack for his biggest plays. The defense had an impressive performance as well, quieting a Rams attack that had looked ferocious last week against Minnesota.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley shined in the snow with 205 rushing yards, including two explosive touchdowns of 78 and 62 yards. Barkley in two games against the Rams, compiled 460 rushing yards.
Saquon Barkley has 2,329 total rushing yards combined in regular season and postseason. Terrell Davis owns the record with 2,476 from 1998. Barkley needs 148 yards to break the record. History can be made next week.
He had an electrifying performance in 2024/25 amassing an impressive 2,329 total rushing yards, making him a leading contender for one of the highest single-season totals in NFL history. Barkley now has the most 60+ yard rushing touchdowns in a single season including playoffs in NFL history with six.
Saquon Barkley is the first player in NFL history to have 200+ scrimmage yards against the same opponent in a regular season game and a playoff game in the same season. He had 525 scrimmage yards against the Rams yesterday this season, a truly staggering figure that is a major reason the Eagles find themselves playing for a Super Bowl berth.
Saquon Barkley has the most compelling storyline in sports this year. Disrespected by his former team, he is now one of the best players in the league, on the road to greatness and nearing a championship, all in one season.
Howie Roseman was already recognized as a Hall of Fame General Manager before signing Saquon Barkley. With this significant acquisition, he has reset the market for running backs and demonstrated the considerable value of having an elite running back.
