PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley rushed for 124 yards to break the Eagles season record, Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and Philadelphia won its ninth straight game, 22-16 over the Carolina Panthers. The Eagles maintained their position as the No. 2 team in the NFC behind Detroit after a mostly lethargic effort against the Panthers. Barkley added another milestone in his MVP push when he used a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter to surpass LeSean McCoy's Eagles record of 1,607 yards, set in 2013. Barkley now has 1,623 yards with four games left. Hurts' passing numbers were a pedestrian 14 of 21 for 108 yards.
