Saquon Barkley said he’s “in a little funk right now” after the Eagles’ Week 12 loss against the Cowboys.

25 November 2025

Barkley’s immense struggles continued in Week 12 against one of the league’s most generous rush defenses. He had 22 yards on 10 rushes while catching seven passes for 52 yards as the Eagles blew a 21-0 lead. “I’m a big believer that the run game starts with me and ends with me,” Barkley said. “I’m in a little funk right now. I’ve had funks before. Just got to break it. Only way I know how is by flushing this, working my butt off, and get ready for the next opportunity.” Barkley has averaged 1.9 yards per carry in the fourth quarter this season, well below his 6.6 YPC in the fourth quarter of 2024 games. Barkley ranks 20th in running back breakaway rate in 2025; last year he was first.
