The Philadelphia Eagles corridor, Saquon Barkley, is at the door of the best individual season for a corridor in the NFL history, entering the Super Bowl Lix against the Kansas City bosses.
Barkley has 2,447 yards by land this season, including the playoffs, which is only 30 yards for the breakdown of the member of the Hall of Fame of the Hall of Fame, Terrell, Terrell Davis, record of 2,476 in the 1998 season. Davis was The last player to win the NFL hurried title (2,008 yards in the 1998 regular season) and the Super Bowl in the same season, something Barkley could achieve on Sunday.
Given how unstoppable Barkley has been throughout the season, how could Kansas City try to stop it? Well, to start, any team that plays Barkley must be solid when boarding because a smell could make Barkley take him to the house. The good news for the consecutive defense champions of Chiefs is that they had the second tacle lost in the regular season (117), only one behind the New England Patriots for the least amount of the NFL, by Trmedia.

However, Barkley has risen to historical heights in the playoffs, averaging 147.3 yards by land in three games played this postseason, and has run for more than 100 yards in 14 of the 19 Eagles games this season, including each of The last five. In the last two games, Barkley has 323 yards by land while averaging 7.9 yards per haul. He is the only player from the AFL/NFL fusion of 1970 to reach both brands in the period of two games in the postseason.
On the other hand, the defense of Kansas City’s career has crumbled in the playoffs, which reduces some trends under the defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The Chiefs have never allowed a 100 -yard corridor in the postseason under Spags, and have an active streak of 18 consecutive games without allowing an individual 100 -yard corridor. Kansas City allowed only 101.8 yards per land per game in the regular season 2024, the eighth number of the NFL in 2024, but the Chiefs are currently allowing 148.0 yards per game in the playoffs.
Chiefs have been typically quite good to limit great plays in the race game, averaging 2.9 explosive races allowed by game this season, which is located as the third best of the NFL, but then Barkley is on the other side. Its seven offensive touchdowns of 60 or more yards are tied for the largest 60 or more yards touchdowns in a single season in the NFL history along with the seven of Devin Hester in 2007, according to the sports research of CBS. Three of the seven of Barkley have arrived in the last two games, including their first touch of the NFC championship game that went to 60 yards to the house.
The external races, such as the launch play that began the beating of the NFC championship game of the Eagles, have been Barkley’s bread and butter in the playoffs. It has rushed for 344 yards and five touchdowns in 37 hauls (9.3 yards per haul) out of the cups in this postseason, and the total yardas and touchdown totals of Barkley in such races are the most players of any player in a single postseason in The next generation statistics of the NFL. ‘Existence since 2016. It also helps to have two first teams of 2024 All-pricos that pave the way abroad for Barkley in the left Tackle Jordan Mailata (95.2 Pro Football Focus Offensive Grade, better between offensive tacle in 2024) and the Tackle Law Lane Johnson ((87.5 pff offensive grade, the fifth best among offensive tacle in 2024).
In the regular season, Kansas City allowed the eighths of race for play in races outside the tacle (59.5) and the seventh yards per land per game (4.4), by NGS. Like the general postseason statistics of the Chiefs, they have greatly diminished in defending against races outside the tacle in the postseason. They are allowing 104.5 yards by land per game and 6.1 yards per land for game in races outside the tacle in this postseason.
The defensive Tackle All-Pro All-Pro by Kansas City, Chris Jones, is the anchor of the defense of the bosses in the middle of the scrimmage line. But if Edge rushes as George Karlaftis, Mike Danna, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Charles Omenihu cannot put the advantage well in the race game, the hopes of the three-mobs chiefs are turned on. Kansas City’s capacity or inability to keep Barkley contained in races outside the tacle will determine which equipment is raising the Vince Lombardi trophy when the clock reaches zero in the 2024 season of the NFL.
