While going 107 yards Sunday amid a 24-19 win over the Baltimore Ravens, Barkley reached 1,499 yards rushing over 12 games. He passed Ricky Watters all-time in Eagles single season rushing totals, moving into third place in the books in that category.

By the time Jalen Hurts was putting the ball into Saquon Barkley’s stomach, Jordan Mailata had already pulled from his left tackle spot and was in position to the right of right guard Mekhi Becton, right where he needed to be to meet Baltimore’s Roquan Smith.

The Eagles, with the NFL's No. 1 defense, did just enough to contain Jackson, who had 237 yards passing and 2 touchdowns, and Derrick Henry, who's second in rushing yards to Barkley, to 82 yards rushing. But the Eagles needed Barkley to break free, desperately.
