And the LB corps is really good against the run. Having a SLB who is an absolute freak speed-strength guy who loves contact like Chenal is also helpful, as is Bolton's ability to come downhill and shoot gaps. Everyone does his job, too - you don't see much freelancing.
Yeah, that was big. If the Eagles try to cover him with Baun or Burks or Gardner-Johnson straight up, or don't dedicate extra resources, he can still put guys in the blender.

Something else that I have noticed is that it feels like Philly tries to “out-talent” other teams, especially on offense. Their offense is heavily dependent on Barkley being successful on the ground as well as QB designed runs. I wonder if they stick with that or if they try to become more pass happy, which plays into the strength of this defense. KC is known for getting teams to play the game KC wants, not the game they usually play. Just a thought.
