Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was denied the chance to break the NFL rushing record after being rested in the last week of the regular season.
Nick Sirianni won 14 games for the second time in three years. Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore turned around their careers as coordinators. Saquon Barkley had his best season as a runner. Jalen Hurts had his most efficient season as a passer.
In a moment during their Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley made a selfless play that likely won them the game. And following the game, head coach Nick Sirianni had nothing but positive words for the Eagles’ running back,
