The Nittany Lions dominated on Saturday, defeating Purdue 49-10 at Ross-Ade Stadium. Similarly, Penn Staters made their mark in the NFL, delivering dominant performances for their respective teams.

Let’s take a look at how those Nittany Lions did professionally this week.

Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles

Running back Saquon Barkley turned in another dominant performance in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 26-18 victory over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. Barkley rushed for 146 yards on 26 carries, averaging 5.6 yards per carry and scoring two touchdowns. This outing pushed him over the 1,000-yard rushing milestone for the season.

Barkley reached 1,000 rushing yards in 176 carries, making him the fastest Philadelphia Eagle to reach 1,000 yards in a season. Former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy previously held the record, reaching the milestone on 188 carries during the 2011 NFL season.

Odafe Oweh, Baltimore Ravens

Linebacker Odafe Oweh was a constant presence in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backfield during the Baltimore Ravens’ 16-18 loss, recording 2.5 sacks and five tackles. This marked his second multi-sack performance of the season, as he also recorded 2.5 sacks against the Las Vegas Raiders in week two. Oweh ranks 11th in the NFL with seven sacks.
