Saquon steps up
NFL: He wasn't the only Philly RB to have a big day, though.

Eagles fans may be surprised to know that Saquon Barkley's 174 all-purpose yards (on 18 touches) in Sunday's win against the Giants were the best by a Birds RB since he blistered the LA Rams in last season's NFC Divisional Round Game with 232 (on 30 touches).
Between then and Sunday, Will Shipley's 165 (on 7 touches) in the NFC Championship Game vs. Washington last season had been the best by a Birds RB as Barkley hadn't tallied 100 in a game this season until Sunday.
He, Shipley AND Tank Bigsby cleared that mark against the Giants, with both Barkley and Bigsby rushing for more than 100 and Ship getting almost all of his on returns.
