Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November. 

That shouldn't come by surprise to anyone after Barkley rushed for 626 yards and five touchdowns on 93 carries along and reeled in 10 receptions for 151 yards and a score last month.

But perhaps the most memorable moment from Barkley's monster performance in the month of November was when he did a backward hurdle over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender. 

It was after that win where Barkley could only thank the man upstairs for blessing him with a "God-given" talent. 

"I've got to give credit to God, man. I'm not going to lie…I feel like God gave me the ability to play this position and gave me some instincts," Barkley said. "Sometimes you've got to let go and let God and your instincts take over."

Let's not forget to mention that Barkley is also a major reason behind why the Eagles are coming up on Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers with eight straight wins under their belt.
