I think the point is more that if you limit the long runs, then the Eagles are forced to work for it.
Look at the Green Bay game. Barkley had a nice but not dominant game. His long run was 17 yards and the Eagles were almost completely unable to sustain long drives.
Green Bay’s 4 turnovers lost that game. The Eagles otherwise had difficultly finishing drive when Barkley isn’t hitting home runs.
Eagles punted 5 times and kicked 3 field goals. 1 TD came on a short field after a turnover. The other was Philly’s only long drive of the game.
Replicate that effort, and the Chiefs are winning the Super Bowl.

Right. these guys aren't bullies like the 03 chiefs that just rush for 10 yards and push you around. they're making their money on busting a long one here and there.
