Saquon Barkley Makes History in 2024 Season with Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley, one of the premier running backs in the NFL across his six seasons with the New York Giants, has been extraordinary in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been the driving force of a Philadelphia running game that ranked second in the league and led the team to Super Bowl LIX.
Here are some of Barkley’s remarkable achievements this season:
* Led the league with 2,005 regular-season rushing yards
* Stepped out of the backfield to post an NFL-high 2,283 yards from scrimmage in the regular season
* Led the NFL with seven carries that went for at least 40 yards in the regular season
* Was second with 17 carries that went for at least 20 yards in the regular season
* Rushed for a career-best 5.8 yards per carry in the regular season, an Eagles record for a running back with at least 100 carries
* Became just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season, joining greats like Eric Dickerson, Adrian Peterson, and Barry Sanders
* Rushed for 100-plus yards in 14 of the 19 games he has appeared in this season
* Finished with 13 rushing touchdowns in the regular season, including five in the postseason
Barkley’s impressive performance has been a key factor in the Eagles’ success this season, and he will look to continue his hot streak as the team prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
