Overview

• Through five games, Barkley has 267 rushing yards at about 3.2 yards per carry with no run longer than 17 yards.
• His rushing attempts are down roughly five per game from last season, limiting opportunities to build late-game momentum.
• Interior blocking has lagged, with Landon Dickerson banged up and Cam Jurgens and Tyler Steen struggling to open lanes.
• The passing game has sagged as well, with Jalen Hurts at a career-low 6.4 yards per attempt, allowing defenses to compress the field.
• Barkley says he is focused on getting back on track, and writers point to a potential opening against a Giants run defense allowing about 140 yards per game.
