The last time the Eagles donned the Kelly Greens, Saquon Barkley made one of the most athletic plays in NFL history with his reverse hop over a Jaguar defender. This time he kept the good vibes by joining a very exclusive club after putting up 167 rushing yards.
The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys 41–7 and achieved extraordinary numbers in the blowout.
Season sweeps, mind-boggling second-half stats, Saquon goes for 2K, and Tanner McKee throws his way into the record books.
It’s all here after an NFC East division-clinching win over the Dallas Cowboys!
