Philadelphia Eagles' running back Saquon Barkley had a record-breaking night as he rushed for an Eagles-record 255 yards in their 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Barkley's performance included two massive touchdown runs of 70 and 72 yards, solidifying his place in NFL history.

Barkley's explosive runs showcased his ability to break away for long gains, with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni praising his knack for hitting 'home runs.' Barkley's total of 302 yards from scrimmage made him the 12th player in NFL history to surpass 300 yards in a game, a remarkable feat that highlighted his impact on the game.

With a career-best 1,392 yards rushing this season, Barkley has been a standout player for the Eagles, leading the league in rushing yards and recording seven 100-yard rushing games. His success with the Eagles marks a fresh start for Barkley after a challenging tenure with the New York Giants.

Not only did Barkley set Eagles franchise records with his performance, but he also had the biggest rushing performance ever against the Rams, surpassing DeMarco Murray's 253-yard game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2011. The Rams' defense struggled to contain Barkley's explosive runs, allowing him to dominate the game.
