Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is facing a tough road to recovery after another underwhelming performance. Despite his impressive 2,005-yard rushing season last year, Barkley has been struggling this season, managing only 684 yards and a 3.7 yards-per-carry average. Barkley's woes can be attributed to a combination of factors, including a new offensive coordinator, injuries to the offensive line, and a lack of room to run. Despite his efforts to take the blame, Barkley remains optimistic about breaking out of his funk. The Bears, who have been on a roll with eight wins in nine games, will be looking to contain Barkley, who has averaged only 2.3 yards per carry before contact this season. "He's still a threat every time he touches the ball," said Bears safety Kevin Byard III. As the Eagles and Bears face off, both teams are looking to find ways to overcome their respective struggles. The Eagles' offense has been inconsistent, ranking 24th overall, while the Bears have relied on their strong defense and running game to secure wins. Coach Nick Sirianni has expressed confidence in his team, attributing their struggles to a dry spell rather than a specific area of the offense. Meanwhile, the Bears' coach Ben Johnson praises his team's veterans for leading the charge and helping the team turn their season around. The game against the Bears will be a crucial test for Barkley, who is still on track to barely meet the 1,000-yard rushing mark this season. Can he turn it around and lead the Eagles to victory, or will the Bears' defense prove too strong?
