After a big first quarter where he ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns, the Commanders' defense focused on stopping Barkley without Jalen Hurts on the field. Barkley was limited to 13 yards, for a first-half total of 122 yards.

On the Eagles’ second-to-last offensive drive, Barkley ran a wheel route down the sideline and beat Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner to get open, but he dropped the pass. A catch would have put the Eagles into Washington’s territory.

There's good news and bad news regarding Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley's pursuit of the NFL single-season rushing record. The bad news is that after Sunday's 65-yard performance against the stingy Pittsburgh Steelers defense, Barkley fell off pace in catching Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards set in 1984.

Saquon Barkley is in the midst of one of the greatest seasons for a running back in NFL history, even if the Philadelphia Eagles star is currently set to fall just short of Eric Dickerson's single-season yardage mark.

The Philadelphia Eagles certainly should get a lot of love for their performance this past offseason. Philadelphia started the 2023 season 10-1 but struggled down the stretch and was knocked out of the playoffs early.

Saquon Barkley needs to average 139.3 rushing yards per game to break Eric Dickeron’s single-season rushing record
