The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the top teams this season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> and have undoubtedly become serious title contenders. Saquon Barkley, one of the stars on Nick Sirianni’s offense, broke a new record, and it was none other than a former Super Bowl champion who sent him a clear message about it.


 


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lesean-mccoy">LeSean McCoy</a>, a legend of the Eagles and owner of two Super Bowl rings with the Chiefs and Buccaneers, expressed great happiness that his fellow running back surpassed him in total yards in a single season.



“As I watch the game, I want to give a super special shoutout to my boy Saquon Barkley also to the offensive line for breaking my single-season Eagles franchise record for rushing,” McCoy said. “No. 26, a lot of love coming from No. 25. Now go get that other record 2,100 yards by Eric Dickerson. Fly Eagles fly.”



McCoy held the franchise record set in 2013, when he accumulated an impressive 1,607 rushing yards in a single season. Currently, Barkley has 1,623 rushing yards with four games still remaining in the season.

<h2>Barkley shares his thoughts on setting a new franchise record</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> made history with the Eagles franchise this past weekend, setting a record that he could continue to build upon in the remaining games of the season.


 


After achieving the milestone, it was the former New York Giants running back himself who <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-eagles-saquon-barkley-makes-honest-admission-on-surpassing-lesean-mccoys-record">made an honest admission about surpassing LeSean McCoy’s mark.</a> With four games remaining, Barkley still has the opportunity to further extend his record.



“I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t pretty cool,” Barkley admitted. “Having my name mentioned with that guy means a lot.”

<h2>The final stretch of the Eagles’ season</h2>



The first goal is clear: secure the top spot in the NFC East. While they are close to achieving it, the Washington Commanders remain hopeful for a potential slip-up from Sirianni’s team.



The first of these remaining four games will take place on Sunday, December 15, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A week later, they will face Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.



The last two games for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia</a> will be against the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, both at home.

The Philadelphia Eagles have secured their spot in the NFL playoffs after a hard-fought 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. With an impressive 11-2 record, the Eagles clinched the NFC East, while star running back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> etched his name in the history books by surpassing former NFL player LeSean McCoy.



Barkley’s performance was a key factor in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a>’ win, and it has sparked excitement among the team’s fanbase about what lies ahead. With a three-game lead over the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia is pushing full throttle toward a strong finish to the regular season. Barkley, in particular, has emerged as a pivotal player for head coach Nick Sirianni’s championship aspirations.



The running back’s impact on the NFC East race cannot be overstated. In the game against the Panthers, Barkley rushed for 124 yards, propelling him past McCoy on the all-time list for most rushing yards in a single season by an Eagles player. With 1,623 yards on the ground, Barkley is now closing in on a spot among the top 50 rushers in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> history.



Reflecting on the milestone, Barkley spoke with ESPN after the game about surpassing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/LeSean-mccoy">McCoy</a>‘s record. “I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t pretty cool,” Barkley admitted. “Having my name mentioned with that guy means a lot.” With several games still remaining in the regular season, Barkley’s record-setting pace could see him climb even higher in the ranks.

<h2>Barkley’s path to the top of the rushing leaderboard</h2>



As the Eagles remain in the hunt for the NFC East title, Barkley is positioning himself to potentially climb to the top of the NFL’s rushing leaderboard. Averaging 124 yards per game, Barkley could make significant progress in the coming weeks and challenge for the top spot if his strong performance continues.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-saquon-barkley-opens-up-about-potential-to-break-multiple-eagles-records"></div>


Should he maintain this pace for the remainder of the regular season, Barkley could finish with 2,119 rushing yards. The current record, held by Eric Dickerson, stands at 2,105 yards—set in 1984. Even if Barkley doesn’t surpass that mark, he could come remarkably close, considering that he has rushed for less than 100 yards in just four games this season.



<h2>Barkley’s message to Eagles fans after clinching victory</h2>



The Eagles’ loyal fanbase has played a crucial role in the team’s success, and their unwavering support has been a driving force behind their impressive season. With only two losses on the year, the team has felt the energy from the stands, and Barkley has been particularly vocal about his gratitude.



After the Eagles’ victory over the Panthers, Barkley took a moment to express his appreciation. “Thank you guys so much for the support every time we come home. The energy and the blessing are pretty special,” Barkley said, sharing images of himself leaving the field following the win.



Barkley and his teammates now face four tough challenges, culminating in January 2025. First, they’ll take on the Steelers on December 15. Next, they’ll meet the Commanders on December 22, just before Christmas Eve. Following that, it’s a showdown with the Cowboys on December 29, and finally, they’ll face the Giants on January 5, 2025.

NFL News: Eagles' Saquon Barkley makes honest admission on surpassing LeSean McCoy’s mark

NFL News: Eagles' Saquon Barkley makes honest admission on surpassing LeSean McCoy’s mark - Bolavip US

LeSean McCoy took a very surprising shot at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> just when the young quarterback was preparing to become the starter for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> in the 2023 season. At that moment, no one knew what was coming.



“I don’t wanna see no more of Trey Lance. I’ve seen enough of him. I don’t want to hear about him. You know what’s sad? It’s really not his fault, because he doesn’t belong in the NFL. It’s not his fault. He shouldn’t be in the NFL as a starting quarterback.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230817#BUS#47862"></div>


McCoy, a former running back of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, shocked the entire panel at FS1 when he talked about the quarterback who was fighting for the starting job with Brock Purdy. Then, the Cowboys’ trade happened.



<h2>LeSean McCoy wants Trey Lance out of the NFL</h2>



According to LeSean McCoy, Trey Lance is not the one to blame for his slow development in the NFL. In fact, the analyst believes general manager John Lynch and the 49ers had a lot to do with it.







“You watch him play? It’s not his fault. The front office should take more blame. They criticize the players all the time. You went out there and you traded the picks to go and get him. So, you thought he was that good. They should take more blame.”



LeSean McCoy had a point considering the 49ers named Trey Lance the No.3 quarterback in the depth chart behind Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold. That put him on the trading block and he ended with the Cowboys. So, San Francisco indeed got it wrong.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230511#CMS#0008"></div>


McCoy already explained why this possibility was real about Trey Lance. “When I look at Trey Lance, there’s nothing he does special. There’s nothing he does really really good. I thought he was a runner. I watched him last year. He’s no runner. I can’t tell if his arm is strong. He doesn’t show me enough. He should be part of a G-league.”
