LOS ANGELES -- Saquon Barkley ran off the SoFi Stadium field Sunday night with two game balls under one arm and the other hand raised toward the sky as Philadelphia Eagles fans showered him with chants of "MVP!"
If he keeps playing like this, he might just be the first running back since Adrian Peterson in 2012 to capture the award.
Barkley had a career night in the Eagles' 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams, posting 302 scrimmage yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns, both of which went for 70-plus yards.
"He's a different type of player," said Rams rookie outside linebacker Jared Verse. "I've never seen a running back like that."
