Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles fans serenaded Saquon Barkley with chants of “MVP!” after a 9-yard run gave him the team’s season rushing record. Barkley set the record in style — passing Eagles Hall of Famers Wilbert Montgomery and record holder LeSean McCoy in a single game — as he rushed for 124 yards to push his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina. Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. Barkley captioned an Instagram post “Thankful” with a checked box next to “franchise single-season rushing yards record.” Here’s a look at what’s ahead for Barkley and his chances of catching Dickerson: Where does Barkley stand in the record chase?
