Saquon Barkley set a franchise record with 205 rushing yards in a playoff game, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC divisional round. His performance now ranks third in NFL history for rushing yards in a season, including playoffs, with 2,329 yards. Barkley’s two 60-plus yard touchdowns were reminiscent of his 255-yard game against the Rams earlier in the season. His 78-yard touchdown run with under five minutes left helped secure the win, advancing the Eagles to the NFC Championship Game. Despite the victory, quarterback Jalen Hurts appeared to injure his knee, and rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell was ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Barkley’s achievement surpassed Steve Van Buren’s 196-yard record from 1949. He sought advice from former running backs LeSean McCoy and Marshall Faulk on playing in snowy conditions and against a team prepared to stop him. His 205 yards rank fifth in postseason history, and he joined Eric Dickerson as the only players with 200-yard games in both the regular season and playoffs.
