Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the season during the team's Week 11 game against the Washington Commanders, making him the second player in Eagles franchise history to reach this milestone in the first 10 games of a season. Barkley reached this mark earlier than in any previous season in his career. In the game, Barkley rushed for 146 yards and scored two touchdowns, including runs of 23 and 39 yards, contributing to his sixth 100-yard rushing game this season. He totaled 198 yards from scrimmage on 28 touches and has averaged 127.7 scrimmage yards per game, the highest among qualified NFL running backs. Barkley now leads the NFL in rushing yards with 1,137, surpassing Derrick Henry, and has accumulated 1,347 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He has recorded 100 or more total yards in eight of his ten games with the Eagles. Barkley is the sixth player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in his first 10 games with a new team since 1970 and has the most rushing yards through 10 games since DeMarco Murray in 2014. He has more scrimmage yards and touchdowns against Washington than any other opponent. His performance is fueling MVP discussions.
