Barkley ran for 159 yards against the Jaguars and his highlight worthy backward hurdle had the league buzzing, but the Eagles' run scheme diversity is keeping defenses off balance.

Barkley’s efficiency supports an offensive system whose running game aims to shape the defense favorably to its will. Jalen Hurts leaped untouched into the end zone on an 18-yard touchdown run on a zone-read keeper with Kenneth Gainwell that gave the Eagles their initial three-score lead in the third quarter.

Saquon Barkley, who had 159 rushing yards against Jacksonville, became just the third Eagle to run for 100-plus yards in three consecutive weeks. Hadn’t happened since Brian Westbrook did it in 2006, and prior to that, it was Wilbert Montgomery in 1978, ’79 and ’81.
