During the Philadelphia Eagles’ 28-23 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Barkley erupted for 159 yards on the ground on 27 carries, and 40 yards receiving on three receptions while scoring two touchdowns. The seven-year veteran also pulled off a never-before-seen backward hurdle, leaping over a Jaguars defender.
Barkley’s 1,071 all-purpose yards this season are the most in Eagles franchise history through eight games.
Barkley is set to retake the stage at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, November 10, at AT&T Stadium when the Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys.
