No matter how many diffciculties he faced with the New York Giants, things worked out for him when he was picked up by the Philadlphia Eagles. His recent performance speaks volumes about his skills, something he never had to prove to the Philadelphia Eagles for them to pay him the amount he is worth.

It was in Week 11 that things changed for Barkley – he had 198 total yards and then rushed for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter which made Philadephia Eagles win against the Washington Commanders. He maintained this momentum in the next match against the Los Angeles Rams, recording around 255 rushing yards. This broke records and became the most ever in the history of his team and the 9th most in one single game in the NFL’s history.
