Saquon Barkley's Rushing Average Surges, But Usage Remains Questionable

Saquon Barkley's rushing average has significantly improved, now tied with Bijan Robinson for 5th-highest in the NFL over the last seven weeks at 4.7 yards per carry. Despite this resurgence, the Philadelphia Eagles have under-utilized him in second halves, with only 17 carries in the last three games combined. Barkley, who has 862 rushing yards on pace for over 1,100, expressed frustration with inconsistency but remains focused on improvement, stating, "Everything we want is still in front of us." The Eagles' offense has struggled, scoring only 81 points in their last five games, their fewest in 13 years.
