Saquon Barkley rushed 25 times for 119 yards in Philadelphia’s Wild Card Round win over the Packers.
From NBC Edge:
"He added two catches for four yards. The Packers were able to key in on Barkley as the Philadelphia pass offense struggled through the middle of the game, but he closed out the game with a 17-yard run that could have gone longer had Barkley not slid to a stop to wrap things up. Barkley will undoubtedly play a large role — as per usual — against Philadelphia’s Divisional Round opponent. It will be up to Jalen Hurts to make sure Barkley’s running lanes are cleared for the explosive game we didn’t get here."

Led by OPOY frontrunner, Saquon Barkley and his historical season, the Eagles are taking aim to New Orleans in hopes of avenging their Super Bowl loss from a couple of seasons ago. Will Stafford and the Rams get to the NFC Conference Final or will the Eagles stand tall at home and get one step close to another Super Bowl?

An Honest Assessment as to How the Rams Can Stop Barkley
Evan Craig of TurfShowTimes.com was asked the following question regarding Barkley.
Q - The Rams are haunted by the memory of Saquon Barkley running over them following a franchise-record 255-yard performance. How could LA attempt to corral Barkley to prevent the All-Pro from shredding their defense for the second time this season?
A - Hey, don’t forget the additional 47 receiving yards he had for 302 total yards from scrimmage!
The Rams’ run defense has seemingly improved since Week 12; LA is allowing 100.5 rushing yards per game since then (excluding the regular season finale when starters were resting). Of course, the running backs they faced during that stretch pale in comparison to Barkley.
If I’m the Rams, I’m totally selling out to stop the run. The Eagles are clearly employing a conservative offensive approach where they pound the rock and limit Jalen Hurts’ passing attempts. Stopping Barkley is easier said than done, even if the Rams dedicate extra resources to run defense. And there’s always the possibility that Hurts gets hot while throwing to A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
But the Rams should be able to live with losing to the Eagles if Philly’s passing game plays well. Losing because Barkley goes wild again should be much more difficult to reconcile. Load the box and make sure No. 26 has to work really hard for his yards. Win the battle in the trenches and make anybody but Barkley beat you.
