The 2025 campaign hasn't been pleasant for the star running back. After having a historic 2024 season on top of helping Philadelphia win Super Bowl 59, he took a big step back in terms of production. His last touchdown came in Week 8 against the New York Giants , having him go through a five-game scoreless drought.
Luckily for him, he finally found an opening in the Chargers' defense to strike. The highlight took place in the fourth quarter as Barkley sprinted for 52 yards into the end zone for the touchdown.
