NFL MVP believes Hurts' superstar teammates are the differentiator in the "narratives" around him and Josh Allen.
The Philadelphia Eagles' passing game has taken a backseat to Saquon Barkley's magnificent rushing ability this season, but head coach Nick Sirianni will need the offense to fire on all cylinders if they are going to reach the Super Bowl.
PHILADELPHIA — The biggest injury concern as the Eagles returned to the practice field Wednesday in South Philadelphia was star receiver A.J. Brown, who has been dealing with a knee injury since the team’s Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has been practicing very little in recent weeks.
"We've done it before, so it's not too far," Brown said of the Eagles' passing game. "It's not like it's never been done. We just gotta do what we gotta do."
The NFL playoffs are in full swing, and I'm back with another edition of fantasy football bold predictions. This week's list of bold predictions will include Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Saquon Barkley,
Barkley emerged from the bye rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and went on to deliver an MVP-caliber season. He topped the 100-yard mark in nine of his 11 post-bye regular-season games and finished with 2,005 rushing yards.
Jalen Hurts did his job, for the most part. Oren Burks and Isaiah Rodgers step into key spots because of injuries.
Saquon Barkley came up big against the Rams for the second time this season, and the Eagles' defense did just enough to help the Birds advance to the NFC championship game vs. Washington.
Philadelphia will host the Commanders next weekend thanks to Barkley rushing for 205 yards and two touchdowns and the Eagles defense recovering two key fumbles
Barkley's two touchdowns and 205 rushing yards put the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game for the second time in the last three seasons.
That's because Hurts went down in a tie game late in the third quarter when he was sacked by Jaylen McCullough at the Rams' 27-yard line. Hurts was slow to get up and was limping. He stayed in the game and handed off to Barkley on third down.
