NFL Week 12 Sunday review: Saquon Barkley has historic single-game performance, dramatic finish in Washington

CNN  

CNN — With six teams on a bye in Week 12 and many heavily-favored teams in the games on the schedule, Sunday’s slate of games had the possibility of lacking intrigue. “He’s a bad man.” Rams rookie linebacker Jared Verse said he’d “never seen a running back like that.” Barkley leads the league in rushing in his debut season with the Eagles. The score looked to have taken the wind out of the Commanders’ sail and, although an Austin Seibert field goal made it a one-score game, it looked like a tall order for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels to produce another moment of brilliance – he already led a Hail Mary victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 8 – when they got the ball back trailing a touchdown with 21 seconds remaining. Daniels did continue his historic first NFL season as he joined Washington’s quarterback, Marcus Mariota, as the only rookie quarterbacks ever with at least 250 passing yards, 70 rushing yards, two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in a game.
