Nick Sirianni can't ignore the Saquon Barkley reality staring him in the face

What a pleasure it was for Philadelphia Eagles fans to watch running back Saquon Barkley start to build some momentum over the last two games after a tough start to the season.

Barkley has rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns against the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders combined, the second-best two-game stretch for him this season. What's working well in this stretch is that he's touching the ball 20 and 22 times in those games, which helps in getting the most important offensive player involved in the game plan.

It appears as though it is starting to work out well for the Eagles to run the ball and become a more well-balanced unit.
