Because that would surprise the hell out out of me and pretty much re-emphasizes that the key to beating the Eagles is just keeping him from busting big runs.
Or hell, only let him break ONE. If he gets a 60 yarder but is otherwise contained, we should have that offense on its heels.
Everything just seems so dependent on Barkley breaking big runs.

Yeah, i think we can live with Barkley only having one big rush. probably even two. He had two huge Td runs vs. WAS (iirc) in their last regular season matchup, and WAS still won, albeit Jalen got hurt and left the game in the 1st quarter. But after Saquon's 2nd big Td run, WAS managed to bottle him up (only had something like 40 yds in the 2nd half) and eke out a W.
But if he has 3+, i think we'll be in trouble.
