Saquon Barkley had a record-breaking night for the Philadelphia Eagles, rushing for 255 yards and two touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams. This performance set new franchise records for single-game rushing and scrimmage yards.
Saquon Barkley made Philadelphia Eagles history on Sunday night — and, in the process, hit a mind-blowing milestone he hasn’t surpassed since his days starring for Penn State. Barkley continued his stellar season in the Eagles’ 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” In front of a national audience, Barkley rushed for 255 yards and two touchdowns, setting a career-high and breaking the single-game franchise rushing record .
Barkley’s 255 rushing yards eclipsed LeSean McCoy’s memorable performance in the 2013 snow game against the Detroit Lions. McCoy, a Harrisburg native, rushed for 217 yards. Barkley’s 302 yards from scrimmage (255 rushing, 47 receiving) against the Rams also set a single-game franchise record, surpassing the 262 yards recorded by Duce Staley in 2000. Barkley’s 302 scrimmage yards is tied for the 10th-most in NFL history (Cloyce Box, 1950). This is the second time Barkley has hit the 300-yard mark from scrimmage in his NFL and collegiate career. Penn State fans might remember the other occasion. The former star Nittany Lions running back racked up 305 scrimmage yards in the dramatic 21-19 win at Iowa in 2017. Barkley, a Coplay native, had 305 scrimmage yards (211 rushing, 94 receiving) in one of his best performances in a Penn State uniform. Barkley is in the midst of arguably the best year of his career in his seventh season in the NFL. The 27-year-old, through 11 games in his first season with Philadelphia, has recorded 223 carries for 1,392 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and 10 rushing touchdowns. He also has 27 receptions for 257 yards (9.5 yards per catch) and a pair of receiving touchdowns
