Derrick Henry Has Fiery 3-Word Reaction to Saquon Barkley’s Career Game

It’s likely too early to discuss who the NFL MVP should be considering the schedule hasn’t even hit Thanksgiving yet, but Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is making one heck of a case to be the award’s front-runner.

Barkley entered Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams second in the league in rushing behind Baltimore’s Derrick Henry (1,185 yards), but he left SoFi Stadium as the league’s new leading rusher after a 255-yard, two-touchdown performance in Philly’s 37-20 win.

Barkley and Henry are the only two runners to reach 1,000 yards so far this season.

Both of Barkley’s touchdown rushes were long runs — 70 and 72 yards, respectively — giving him an NFL-best six runs of 40 or more yards this season. No other RB has more than three.

Henry, who needs 208 yards in Monday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers to retake his rushing lead, was so impressed with Barkley’s performance he gave him a shoutout on X during the game.

“@saquon GO CRAZY GANGSTA!!” Henry tweeted.
