Eagles Players Have a 3-Word Request for Saquon Barkley in Late-Game Situations

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday evening for their eighth-straight win, and running back Saquon Barkley was once again the star of the game. With the Birds up by just two points in the fourth quarter, Barkley ran for a 25-yard touchdown to stretch that margin to nine. Despite some last-minute money moves from Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, Philly pulled it out, 24-19.

This isn't the first time Barkley's incredible playmaking has carried the Eagles to victory. The 27-year-old had two massive touchdowns (and the best statistical game of his career) against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 24, and we can't forget his incredible backward hurdle against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which resulted in a 15-yard gain. The MVP calls abound.
