So, just being able to become wiser, grow and mature and take all these lessons in for the next season and the next games.”The Eagles didn’t have Barkley when they faced the Chiefs two years ago. He joined them in free agency this season and is on the verge of history. Barkley has 2,447 yards rushing, 30 away from passing Terrell Davis’s 26-year-old record for most in a season, including playoffs.
