Saquon Barkley rips off 78-yard snow TD to lift Eagles to victory over Rams, spot in NFC Championship Game
Saquon Barkley carried the Philadelphia Eagles to the NFC Championship Game.
Barkley memorably gashed the Los Angeles Rams for 255 yards back in November. The Eagles and Rams faced off in Sunday’s NFC Divisional round, and the former Penn State standout feasted again – this time in the snow.
Barkley delivered his biggest highlight of the game in the 4th quarter. The Eagles had a 22-15 lead, having only cashed in 2 turnovers for field goals. Barkley made it a 28-15 game by breaking off a 78-yard run in the snow for a touchdown.

It wasn’t Barkley’s first big run of the day. Before it became a snow game, he went 62 yards for his first score of the day.

In a game where Jalen Hurts was limited by injury, Barkley stepped up in a big way, rushing 26 times for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns, the 5th-best postseason rushing total in NFL history. Barkley and the Eagles will next face the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game for a spot in the Super Bowl.
