The Eagles’ star running back has basically been unstoppable.
Saquon Barkley is NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season, according to an official league announcement.
Honestly, he deserved this just for the play where he broke two tackles and then jumped over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender BACKWARDS alone. All told, he had 27 carries for 159 yards (5.9 average) and one rushing touchdown ... plus three catches for 40 yards and one receiving touchdown in the Eagles’ most recent win.
This marks the third time Barkley is taking home the NFC POTW award...
This is worth a few minutes. I’ll transcribe some of it also:

In Roob’s Stats: What the Eagles did for the first time since 1950 - NBCSP
5. We’ve got rushing stats! 5A. The Eagles have rushed for 667 yards in their last three games, their 3rd-highest 3-game total since 1950. They had 674 vs. the Saints, Dolphins and Colts in 1978 and 683 yards against the Packers, Titans and Giants late in 2022. 5B. The Eagles’ 1,398 rushing yards are their most through eight games in 74 years. The 1950 team had 1,764 after eight games....

We’re back for another day of the Bleeding Green Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.
We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way,...
Philadelphia wasn’t active on Tuesday but a number of their upcoming opponents were.
For the first time since the 2020 season (heavily impacted by COVID), the Philadelphia Eagles stood pat near the NFL trade deadline.
And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
If Howie Roseman was worried about lighting some more draft picks on fire after struggling to make good deals in recent years, I can’t blame him. The thinking here was that the Eagles should either go big or go home at the deadline. That’s to say they should’ve been big game hunting by looking to pay a premium...
Perhaps he’ll return on the practice squad?
The Philadelphia Eagles did not make a trade on NFL trade deadline day but they did make a roster move.
They released tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, according to an official team announcement.
The Eagles originally acquired Albert O prior to the 2023 season. They sent a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to the Denver Broncos in exchange for Okwuegbunam and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Serving as a depth tight end, Albert O contributed next to nothing last year with one target and zero receptions in 57 offensive...
BIG MOVE for the Cowboys!
What a deal! Jerry Jones does it again! Trading a fourth round pick for a change-of-scenery receiver while sitting at 3-5 and missing Dak Prescott due to a hamstring injury. Normally when you’re facing a lost season, you become sellers at the trade deadline, but not the Cowboys! They’re buyers. They’re all in baby!
Mind you, the Kansas City Chiefs got DeAndre Hopkins for a 5th. The Jets got Davante Adams for a 4th. The Ravens got Diontae Johnson for a 5th. And the Cowboys sent Amari Cooper to Cleveland for a 5th, so...
Philadelphia’s top competition in the NFC East just got better.
The Washington Commanders are typically in the position to be sellers at the NFL trade deadline but a 7-2 start this season has them in buying mode.
With an obvious weakness at cornerback, the Commanders decided to improve their roster by sending multiple draft picks to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The full trade terms:
COMMANDERS RECEIVE — Marshon Lattimore, Saints’ 2025 fifth-round pick
**SAINTS RECEIVE — Commanders’ 2025 third-round pick, Commanders’ 2025 fourth-round pick, Saints’ 2025 sixth-round pick (that New Orleans...
It’s amazing to watch dudes at the peak of their powers who’ve played football for 15+ years shocked by something they saw on the field. The bench reaction to Saquon’s hurdle is amazing:
Lets take a look at them all.
Jordan Davis went full on stank face:
That dude has played with guys like Justin Fields, D’Andre Swift, and George Pickens and played against Najee Harris, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Justin Jefferson, and Ja’Marr Chase and this is still the craziest thing he’s seen on a football field. The stank face is typically reserved for an insane play on...
100% accurate ranking of all 32 teams.
Now that Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books, it’s time for an incredibly meaningful and serious exercise: NFL Power Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all the others is that they’re THE only truly accurate ones in the entire universe. We use a proprietary system that heavily accounts for all-important vibes. Let’s take a look at how all 32 teams stack up. (Click here for last week’s version.)

The Cowboys are worse than jury duty
The Dallas Cowboys are down bad. Jerry Jones said they were “all in” this year, instead they’re having possibly their worst season in 20 years. Things are so bad that Brandon Aubrey was given the opportunity to defer his jury duty to the summer and he said no. The 2024 Dallas Cowboys: worse than jury duty.
Or, in the words of Dak Prescott, they “fucking suck.” At least Prescott, who was having probably the worst season of his career, won’t have to participate in it for a while, as he’s likely headed to...
