The Philadelphia Eagles moved their winning streak to seven games following a dominant 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12's edition of "Sunday Night Football."
Running back Saquon Barkley was easily the best player on the field in the game. The former New York Giants star tallied 26 carries for an Eagles-record 255 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came from 70+ yards out. He also added four catches for 47 yards through the air.
But it wasn't all great for Philadelphia. Former All-Pro defensive end Brandon Graham left the game early after having lengthy conversations with his teammates, who gave him hugs and handshakes before he headed to the locker room.
Following the game, an emotional Graham spoke to the media and revealed that his season is now over after tearing his tricep in the win. The former Michigan Wolverines star also mentioned what caused the injury.
"I'm out for the rest of the year," Graham said to the surprise of the reporters. "I tore my tricep... I got chipped and got hit in my elbow, tore my tricep. I told the boys, 'The mission's still the mission.' We pour everything we can into this game... I'm just enjoying myself. I'm about to enjoy this little rehab, and I'm about to enjoy leading this team the rest of the year. As soon as I can be back out there, Imma be back out there... I'm out for the year."

Graham finished the night with two total tackles, a sack and a stuff. On the season, the 36-year-old is tied for third on the team in sacks with linebacker Nolan Smith and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, each of whom have 3.5.
Still, the Eagles remain one of the teams to beat in the NFL, holding a 9-2 record and first place in the NFC East. They will get a tough challenge in Week 13 as they travel to Baltimore to face Lamar Jackson and the 7-4 Ravens. But they will be moving forward without a key piece.
