CBS Philadelphia

December 9, 2024

While the victory certainly wasn't pretty, the Philadelphia Eagles did hold on to defeat the Carolina Panthers 22-16 and tie the franchise record with their ninth straight victory. The Eagles remain three games up on the NFC East lead and need just two more wins to clinch the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, even if they needed to halt a final drive by the Panthers in the final minute.

The Eagles also kept pace with the Lions in the race for the No. 1 seed, remaining a game behind Detroit. This also was another week Saquon Barkley found himself in the Eagles' history books, this time setting the franchise single-season rushing record in just the Eagles' 13th game of the year.

Barkley passed LeSean McCoy for the franchise mark on a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter, as he has 1,623 yards on the season (McCoy previously held the mark with 1,607 in 2013). Barkley finished with 20 carries for 124 yards on the afternoon, averaging 6.2 yards per carry.
