Philadelphia also entered the fourth quarter ahead by 13 points.</p><p>However, the Eagles failed to stave off the Commanders in the final period, where Daniels passed for three touchdowns to lead Washington’s 22-point outburst in the quarter. Philadelphia, on the other hand, mustered just six points in the fourth quarter.</p><h2><b>Eagles star Saquon Barkley speaks up about loss to Commanders</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/a3588ffe-c13b-11ef-a955-0e0635d22f11.avif"><figcaption>Geoff Burke-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even with Jalen Hurts exiting the game in the first quarter and not returning due to concussion, the Eagles dominated the Commanders before that brutal fourth period. Kenny <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-kenny-picketts-admission-running-offense-eagles-oc-kellen-moore">Pickett did an admirable job of keeping the Eagles’ offense steady</a> while the defense was fantastic as well. Philly even finished the game with five takeaways. The loss left Barkley frustrated, as his tremendous production was also <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43112051/eagles-jalen-hurts-ruled-suffering-concussion" rel="noopener">ultimately wasted because of the game’s result</a>.</p><p>“It sucks,” Barkley, said after the game, per Tim McManus of ESPN. “But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We’re going to go out there and we’re going to win every football game — that’s our mindset as a team. But at the same time, when we lose and we didn’t do what we wanted to accomplish, we’re not going to panic.”</p><p>Barkley also made it clear that his confidence in the Eagles remains high.</p><p>“We’ll leave it up to [the media] to go out there and write stories about us and say whatever you want to say but we’re going to stay locked in in this locker room and keep believing in each other and finish the season up strong.”</p><p>Barkley finished the Commanders game with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. He now has a total of 1,838 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 314 carries so far in his first season with the Eagles, who will next take on the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 17.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both of those players won MVP in those respective seasons, per Tony Holzman-Escareno.</p><p>Handing the ball off to Barkley on the play was backup quarterback Kenny Pickett, who entered the game for starter Jalen Hurts, injured earlier in the contest.</p><p>However, the Eagles likely won’t need to throw the ball too much with the way Barkley has been running the ball this year. Barkley has been the unquestionable engine behind the Eagles’ offensive success this year, providing a much different to the run game than what D’Andre Swift and others were able to provide and quelling any doubt about whether or not Philadelphia may have overpaid for him.</p><p>As previously mentioned, with a win against the Commanders on Sunday, the Eagles can officially wrap up the NFC East and continue their push toward the number one overall seed in the NFC, which is still very much within their reach.</p><p>If Philadelphia is able to finish the season 15-2, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see Barkley win the league MVP in a rare non-quarterback instance.</p><p>Up next for the Eagles is a home game vs the Dallas Cowboys on December 29.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Just to have a guy behind [RB] Saquon [Barkley] like Kenny, who’s played very valuable roles in this league for a number of years now. A guy who, in a lot of other circumstances, is probably getting a lot more touches, a lot more opportunities. The way he handles himself and the way he prepares is second to none,”</p><p>“And the way he and Saquon team up on this thing and rally together, and [RB] Will [Shipley] is in that equation as well, I think it’s a really special group. There are no egos. They’re all in it for each other. I think Kenny has done an excellent job when he is called upon and given that opportunity, he takes advantage of it. His ability to play in space, he made some big-time plays.”</p><p>Is Moore on the money? Would Gainwell be playing a bigger role on another team or even this one if he wasn’t RB2 to the reigning rushing champ? It’s hard to say, but when the Eagles needed him to step up, the pride of Memphis did just that, and fans in Philadelphia couldn’t have been prouder.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Kenneth-Gainwell-on-the-field-for-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni is proud to have Gainwell on the Eagles, too<br></b></h2><p>Discussing Gainwell’s play during his first press conference of Week 16, head coach Nick Sirianni put over Kenny G’s efforts too, telling reporters that he, too, is proud to have <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/nick-sirianni-12-16-24/" rel="noopener">his fellow 2020 addition on the roster</a>.</p><p>“I think the guys make fun of him sometimes because they know he’s one of my favorites. I say, ‘Don’t say that to anybody.’ I think they just perceive that because I’m always talking to [RB Kenneth Gainwell] Kenny to reinforce what you want your culture to look like. ‘Hey, guys, it takes everybody. Watch this. The two opportunities that Kenny got, watch what he does with it.’ Now he’s contributing on special teams, and I don’t just mean returning. He’s making tackles on special teams. Every opportunity that he has, he takes advantage of,” Sirianni told reporters.</p><p>“What’s there not to love about Kenny Gainwell? I think you set me up here because you knew I was going to gush about Kenny. I love having him on this football team. I’ve loved getting to know him more and more over the last four years of being together. He’s a special, special player. He’s a special, special teammate. Really, he speaks so much to what our culture is here. He may not have a ‘C’ on his chest, but he leads in his own way. He’s really taken advantage of all the opportunities that he’s gotten here, and that goes back. That has been consistent through the last four years here with the Eagles.”</p><p>In a team sport like football, not everyone can be a “star.” If Sirianni is this excited about the contributions of a role player, then that really is a testament to the Eagles’ depth heading into the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ultimately, the Eagles prevailed 27-13, advancing to 12-2 on the season and continuing a now 10 win streak. However, while winning is important, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-saquon-barkley-instant-reaction-breaking-rushing-record">so is Saquon Barkley potentially setting records this season</a>. There might be a problem with that, though, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/saquon-barkley-dealing-with-a-little-something-falls-behind-record-breaking-pace" rel="noopener">as he left the game early</a>.</p><p>“I’m not going to go too much into that, but the guys stepped up big, Kenny was able to make some big plays for us and I was able to tough it out,” said Barkley according to EJ Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer. In addition to not expanding on it, he did say he is “dealing with a little something.”</p><p>Barkley finished the game with 19 carries for just 65 yards. On the season, he now has 285 attempts for 1,688 yards and 11 touchdowns. The record Barkley is looking to break is the single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards set by Eric Dickerson in 1984. In order to beat that, he would need to average 140 yards per game over the team’s remaining three games.</p><p>Prior to Week 15, he was on pace to break the record. However, due to the lackluster performance, he is on pace for just about 2,050 yards and not the record.</p><h2>The Eagles are looking like a buzzsaw with three weeks to go</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Saquon-Barkley_bb7b22.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In 2023, the Eagles started incredibly strong and then suffered a late-season collapse that ultimately ended their season. So far, it’s been the opposite in 2024.</p><p>After four games, the Eagles were 2-2 and it wasn’t looking great. Many fans were even calling for head coach Nick Sirianni’s job, believing he might not be the guy for the job anymore. However, they haven’t lost since. The Eagles currently have the NFL’s longest win streak by a large margin at 10.</p><p>Philadelphia isn’t just notching wins over easy teams either, they’ve taken down some of the best in the league. In addition to taking down the Steelers, who currently lead the AFC North, the Eagles have beaten the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders. With their remaining three games against the Commanders, Cowboys, and Giants, there is a good chance the Eagles could finish the season 15-2 and on a 13-game win streak.</p><p>At 12-2, the Eagles are tied for the best record in the NFC. They are tied with the Detroit Lions, who dropped their second game of the season in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. The Lions finish the season against the Bears, 49ers, and Vikings. It looks to be a race between those two for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, though another team could definitely emerge.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Eagles took on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday evening in one of the more anticipated matchups of the season. However, Philadelphia received a bit of a scare when Saquon Barkley missed time in the first half with an apparent injury.</p><p>Barkley <a href="https://x.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1868429662353031232" rel="noopener">left the game</a> against the Steelers after taking a hit from TJ Watt, as noted by NFL reporter James Palmer. Palmer further noted that the Eagles star ball carrier was trying to stay loose on the sidelines. He also appeared to be flexing his knee. He eventually made his way back into the game to start the second half.</p><p>To this point, Barkley has 11 carries for 49 yards, according to ESPN. However, the Eagles raced out to an emphatic 17-3 lead over the Steelers on Sunday evening. However, Pittsburgh certainly hasn’t rolled over. At the time of publication, Philadelphia maintains a 20-13 lead over Pittsburgh.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-philadelphia-steals-saquon-barkley-giants-3-year-37-75-million-contract">Barkley signed with the Eagles in NFL Free Agency</a> back in March. And he has emerged as one of the best free-agent signings from the spring. Entering play Sunday, Barkley has 1623 rushing yards on 266 carries while rushing for 11 touchdowns. He has played a vital role in getting the Eagles to an 11-2 record entering Week 15.</p><p>The Eagles are batting the Detroit Lions for the first seed in the NFC. At this time, the Lions are on the losing end of a 28-14 scoreline with the Buffalo Bills. Both teams have vital matchups remaining on their schedule as the regular season comes to a close.</p><p>If the Eagles are to claim the first seed, Saquon Barkley is going to be a big piece in that effort. Hopefully, his injury scare on Sunday was nothing more than a precaution on Philadephia’s part. And let’s hope any injury he may have suffered is minor and won’t cause any long-term complications.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
