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.
