Saquon Barkley wins 2024 NFL rushing title
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has previously talked about the friendly rivalry he has with Derrick Henry, with the pair often the leading rushers in the NFL. Barkley had only ever topped Henry once, back in 2018, but they both fell short of the rushing title to Ezekiel Elliott that season. But, everything changed this season in Philly behind the Eagles’ offensive line.
Barkley finished the 2024 season with 2,005 total rushing yards, putting his name in the history books among the only other eight running backs to hit the 2k mark. The incredible feat also earned him his first rushing title, besting Henry’s 1,921 total rushing yards this season.
