DeVonta Smith wanted to slap Eagles teammate Saquon Barkley for sliding to stop the clock in stead of going for a touchdown.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith contributed four receptions for 27 yards in the team's 28-22 Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. While the Eagles relied heavily on Saquon Barkley's dominant ground game,
There’s no shortage of people angry at Saquon Barkley for his game ... Mics caught Eagles wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith playfully cursing out Barkley on the sidelines and telling him ...
Barkley emerged from the bye rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and went on to deliver an MVP-caliber season. He topped the 100-yard mark in nine of his 11 post-bye regular-season games and finished with 2,005 rushing yards.
Well, in Star Wars parlance, "The Empire Strikes Back." In this case, too much Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and a punishing Eagles offense line. Beating a team twice in a season is always a tough chore, but look ...
The Rams should utilize Christian Rozeboom and Omar Speights more often, opting for heavier boxes and a stronger commitment to stopping the run. It might come at the expense of snaps for their defensive backs, but Philadelphia’s rushing attack is what wins this team games, not throwing the ball.
Saquon Barkley came up big against the Rams for the second time this season, and the Eagles' defense did just enough to help the Birds advance to the NFC championship game vs. Washington.
Saquon Barkley powered the Eagles' offense all day, but it was his two long touchdown scampers that proved the difference in the win over the Rams.
