Following the Eagles running back’s historic night, Derrick Henry gave Saquon Barkley a heartfelt shout-out.
Philadelphia Eagles, played the best statistical game of his NFL career against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, which further strengthened his argument for this season’s MVP award.
Barkley’s career-high 255 yards, the ninth-most ever in an NFL game, came from 26 rushes of the ball. For a Sunday Night Football game, it’s not too bad.
On Monday, the running back received a lot of plaudits on social media and in the sports media community, with many calling for him to win MVP.
A few weeks ago, it appeared that Henry may surpass the single-season running yards record, but he is also having an outstanding 2024 season. But on Sunday night, Barkley overtook Henry as the NFL’s top rusher. Prior to Monday night’s Ravens game, Barkley had 1,392 yards this season, while Henry had 1,185 yards.
