Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles' star running back, achieved a remarkable feat during Super Bowl LIX, setting a new all-time record for most rushing yards in a single season, including playoffs, with an astounding 2,504 yards. Barkley acknowledged the crucial role of his offensive line in his success. In a gesture of appreciation before the Eagles' Super Bowl parade, he gifted each of his linemen a truckload of Bud Light.

Barkley's dominance throughout the season was undeniable. After joining the Eagles on a three-year deal, he became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in the regular season, nearly breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. His exceptional performance earned him the Offensive Player of the Year award, marking the first time since 2005-2006 that running backs won the award in consecutive seasons.

Out of 20 games played, Barkley achieved over 100 rushing yards in 12 games and surpassed the 200-yard mark twice. Although he was held to 57 yards in the Super Bowl, a rare quiet performance, Barkley ultimately hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. This generous act towards his offensive line underscores the team's camaraderie and Barkley's recognition of their contribution to his historic season.
