The twelfth week of the NFL is nearly in the books, with just one game left to play. Several players had incredible performances, along with surprising results from multiple teams.
Arguably the best performance came from Saquon Barkley, who had the best game of his career in the Sunday night matchup against the Rams. The seventh-year player had a career-high 255 rushing yards, two rushing scores and 47 receiving yards. He set the single-game franchise record for rushing yards, passing LeSean McCoy who had 217 in 2013. Barkley also became the first player in Eagles history to total 300 scrimmage yards in a single outing.
Additionally, it was the most rushing yards in a game since Jamaal Charles had 259 in the 2009 season. He is just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 255 or more rushing yards in a game.
Barkley wasn’t the only spectacular thing to happen this weekend. FOX Sports Research broke down ten more eye-opening nuggets for you. Let’s take a look
1. Dynamic Duo
The Lions keep cruising every week behind Jared Goff’s play. But this week, it was the run game that got the job done. Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 90 yards and two scores while David Montgomery added 37 and a touchdown of his own. The two have combined for 21 rushing scores, and are the first running back duo in NFL history to each rush for 10+ touchdowns in consecutive seasons. This was also the ninth game in which Mongomery and Gibbs have each rushed for a touchdown, tied for the third-most among running back duos in NFL history. They trail only Hugh McElhenny and Joe Perry (49ers) and Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor (Packers) who did so 10 times. When removing position from the equation, their 10 games is tied for the sixth-most among all duos.
Takeaway: Same thing we said last week, the Lions are the best team in the NFL. Can anyone stop them?
