Overview
- Barkley broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown early against the Giants, his longest run of the season.
- The Sporting News, citing Dov Kleiman, reported the score gave him nine rushing TDs of 65 yards or longer, tying Adrian Peterson.
- Before leaving, he logged 14 carries for 150 yards and a rushing TD plus four receptions for 24 yards and another score.
- He limped off after a long third-quarter run, entered the blue tent, and the FOX broadcast said he was dealing with a groin injury as Tank Bigsby took over and no return was announced.
- Entering Week 8, he had 369 rushing yards and three rushing TDs plus 135 receiving yards and one receiving TD, with this burst framed as a welcome sign for an underperforming run game; the Eagles have a Week 9 bye.
