On Thursday night, Saquon Barkley showed the NFL why he's a force to be reckoned with. The Philadelphia Eagles running back racked up an impressive 198 total yards against the Washington Commanders, carrying his team to a 26-18 win. Barkley's two touchdowns in the fourth quarter were the icing on the cake, with his first scoring run putting the Eagles ahead 19-10, and his second extending the lead to 16 points. His performance was no surprise to Eagles fans, as Barkley has been having a stellar season, recording over 100 rushing yards in four of his last five games.

The 27-year-old has been a game-changer since joining the Eagles in the offseason. Before the game, he even took the time to make a young fan's day by signing her jersey. This isn't just about stats; Barkley's character and impact on the field are making a real difference. His total rushing yards for the season now lead the NFL, surpassing Derrick Henry of the Ravens.

Barkley's decision to leave the Giants after six seasons seems to be paying off. The Giants front office might be regretting letting him go, as he continues to dominate the league. The Penn State alum is proving to be one of the most dominant players this year, and his future looks bright.
