Chiefs Rushing D vs. Eagles & Barkley
How do the Chiefs stop Barkley?
Total Rushing Yards in 2024: The Eagles accumulated 3,048 rushing yards during the 2024 season https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/eagles-rushing-stats In the playoffs, Barkley averaged 147.3 rushing yards per game with five touchdowns. https://phillysportsnetwork.com/2025...numbers-stats/ The Chiefs allowed an average of 101.8 rushing yards per game during the 2024 season Despite allowing a moderate number of rushing yards, the Chiefs have been effective in limiting explosive runs, which could help them contain the Eagles' powerful running game https://underdognetwork.com/football...iefs-vs-eagles In the playoffs, James Cook of Buffalo... rushed for 85 yards on 13 carries, averaging 6.5 yards per carry. His longest run was for 33 yards, showcasing his ability to break tackles and gain significant yardage. So, it would seem that the way to beat Philadelphia lies at the hands of the rushing defense. How do we stop Barkley? |

Is this much different than the 49ers last year?
Elite running team Super star RB Weapons at WR and TE Question mark at QB The Eagles have a better O-line though. Outside of Trent Williams I don't remember the 49ers line being that imposing last year. |

If what you say is true, I won't be shocked to see some early play action deep shots to make us respect the pass. Until they hit on something, I'd still play the game as if Barkley is my one and only concern. He single handedly won them games, and we simply can't let that happen. Make them beat you any other way, just like the Pats used to do to Kelce and Hill. |

The Eagles, OTOH made it to a SB throwing 4000 yards/season and almost beat Mahomes doing it, so let's go run heavy? I know every defense besides the Bills figured out their high school offense last season, but still... Hurts isn't Lamar Jackson or Brock Purdy bad and surely they could figure something out (again, unless it's all 5D chess, but I don't think Spags bites anyway).

They're going to come out and do what got them here, and the dude is going to get his yards. However, they will not beat us with just their ground game. They will need to get production through the air, and I think our pass defense is more than up for what they have to offer. It's going to be all on the legs of Hurts and Barkley, and as good as they are in that area, you can't beat this team if you can't pass the ball. We'll see if they can. My money is on Spags and this defense making it next to impossible for them. |

My brother ran more plays in one game of Madden when he was 6 than Kellen Moore runs in his entire nfl offense.

Troy Aikman wasn't, isn't and never will be more than a walking, talking cock tip.

It would have to be the most epic performance they both will ever have in their existence, and I simply cannot see that happening. |
