Eagles vs. Rams: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Saquon Barkley was hit by two words—“The ball.”
The only mistake the amazing tailback made Sunday night was not keeping the historic ball after his 72-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown that gave him a career-best, and Eagles’ single-game rushing record 255 yards rushing.
Buoyed by the exquisite Barkley, the Eagles mowed over the Los Angeles Rams, 37-20, for their seventh-straight victory before a national TV audience at SoFi Stadium.
Barkley ran for second-half touchdowns of 70 and 72 yards, and finished with a career-high 255 yards rushing on 26 carries, with an average of 9.8 yards per carry. He finished with 302 yards from scrimmage, including the 47 yards he had receiving.
