The Philadelphia Eagles are sputtering on offense, and superstar running back Saquon Barkley looks like a shell of the man who ran for over 2,000 yards last season en route to a Super Bowl.
Barkley managed only 56 yards on 13 carries against the Chicago Bears in the Eagles' 24-15 loss on Black Friday. The notoriously explosive back couldn't break free for more than a long run of 15 yards, which, to be fair, Chicago's defense deserves some credit for.
But apart from the Bears' collective efforts and the inferior blocking Barkley is running behind this year compared to 2024, one Chicago starter believes the issue runs deeper than that.
