“When you have the type of quickness (and) lateral movement, that Saquon has, with the ability to accelerate and speed to finish, and the power to break through an arm tackle,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “He's got everything you look for in a back. He's been awesome and he was awesome tonight.”

The Philadelphia Eagles capitalized on an early defensive play to take the lead in the first half over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, with Nakobe Dean’s timely fumble recovery setting the tone in what as for a time a defensive battle at SoFi Stadium. But then Saquon Barkley happened.

Barkley ran for 255 yards, the ninth-best single-game total in NFL history, as the Eagles beat the Rams to extend their winning streak to six games.
