The Philadelphia Eagles’ season reached a new low on Monday Night Football.That forced a recent NFL Offensive Player of the Year to privately and publicly challenge his teammates.The Eagles are falling apart since losing Jalen Hurts at QBGetty“Felt like the moment was right,” said Saquon Barkley, after the Eagles were blasted 38-21 by the Dallas Cowboys and fell to 2-5 this season.With team leader and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts lost for the season due to a controversial injury, Barkley believed it was time to speak up and remind the backsliding Eagles that they still have 10 games to fight through. “How I look at life, I feel like you just never quit,” Barkley said. “You never give up. You just keep fighting, no matter what, whatever the situation is, how it looks. And I feel like that we have the men in the locker room to do it. “We put ourselves in this situation. We’ve got to get ourselves out of it. I know that I’ve got to take more of a a role of being vocal, using my voice. I’m more of a lead-by-example type of guy, but it happens when you have guys banged up.”The Eagles have been dragged down by injuries, inconsistency and poor decisions.But Philly still has enough talent on its roster to make the playoffs, especially with the New York Giants (4-2-1) leading the NFC East with unproven QB J.J. McCarthy.It was important to the three-time Pro Bowler and former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year that he remind the Eagles what’s still at stake in 2026.“We’re working our a** off,” Barkley said. “And it sucks when the results aren’t going the way you wanted to go. I’m going to sound a broken record, but I really bought into this mindset. “Just got to keep believing in the process, keep working and keep going. The results may not be what we want right now, but it doesn’t matter. We’ve got to go back to work. It takes all of us.”Saquon Barkley called out the Eagles after a humbling loss to the CowboysgettyThings couldn’t be much worse for the Eagles right nowGettyThere are mounting questions about Nick Sirianni‘s future as Philly’s head coach, while the insertion of Tanner McKee at QB (23-of-35, 211 yards, touchdown, interception, 79.6 rating) failed to reignite Philly’s offense on MNF. On a night when a highly efficient Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards, three TDs and a 118.1 rating for the Cowboys (3-4) inside the Eagles’ home stadium, Barkley tried to help save what’s left of Philly’s campaign.The Eagles started the year with Super Bowl hopes.After seven games, they’ve lost five consecutive contests and their best remaining offensive player has been forced to challenge the rest of the roster. “I truly love this game and I feel like if you’re able to go, you’ve got to push your body to the limit,” Barkley said.It’s clear that the Eagles are falling apart and Barkley is trying his best to hold the team together.
