The Philadelphia Eagles have the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL, and star quarterback Jalen Hurts and star running back Saquon Barkley made a kind

On the Eagles’ second-to-last offensive drive, Barkley ran a wheel route down the sideline and beat Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner to get open, but he dropped the pass. A catch would have put the Eagles into Washington’s territory.

Philadelphia knew the position was undervalued, and its foresight has paid off. Plus, what makes the Green Bay front office different.

The Philadelphia Eagles certainly should get a lot of love for their performance this past offseason. Philadelphia started the 2023 season 10-1 but struggled down the stretch and was knocked out of the playoffs early.

Philadelphia Eagles fans weren't the only ones amazed by Saquon Barkley's dominant first quarter against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Los

Saquon Barkley is in the midst of one of the greatest seasons for a running back in NFL history, even if the Philadelphia Eagles star is currently set to fall just short of Eric Dickerson's single-season yardage mark.

In case you haven't been watching Philadelphia Eagles games all season, Saquon Barkley is pretty good, and he's having an incredible season. Barkley has already broken the Eagles' single-season rushing record with four games to play, and he might also break the NFL's single-season rushing record, which has been in place since 1984.

The Philadelphia Eagles got dealt a little bit of a blow with a loss to the Commanders in Week 17. Let’s not focus on a game where Kenny Pickett was the quarterback for three whole quarters. There are bigger and better things ahead.

Led by free agent bargains Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, the number of big-play running backs is rivaling the number of high-production receivers for a change.

As things presently stand, it's unclear who the Philadelphia Eagles will start under center in Week 17: Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, or Tanner McKee.
