The NFL playoffs are finally here, with much of the week devoted to daily injury reports.
The center of attention has been the health of Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers quarterback And Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen hurts. But when the NFC joker game starts Sunday afternoon, maybe we should shine a spotlight on the team’s primary running backs – Green Bay’s Josh Jacobs And Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley.
Given how both teams rely on the ground game, the game could certainly be decided by which Pro Bowl ball carrier has the better afternoon finding space out of the trenches.
Barkley ran for over 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns this season and was on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record before sitting out Week 18.

Like Barkley, Jacobs signed with a new team during the offseason as a free agent and became the team’s anchor. Packers‘offense. He finished with 1,671 total yards and 16 touchdowns, including 15 on the ground.
Love and Hurts are expected to play and both offenses will look for explosive plays when the opportunity presents itself, but there’s a good chance Jacobs and Barkley will carry the load often. The two have combined for 646 carries and 3,334 yards this season.
THE Packers and the Eagles are two of only three teams in the NFL to run the ball more than 50 percent of the time. No reason to think this won’t continue for the Packers if they want to avenge their season-opening 34-29 loss in Brazil against the Eagles. Packers fans would probably like a return on investment for 4th and 26Also.
