Barkley has torched the Commanders as an Eagle. He's put up 132-1, 150-2 and 146-2 rushing lines on 21+ carries. Washington is attempting to improve its run defense with first-round LB Sonny Styles, LB Leo Chenal, EDGE Odafe Oweh and DT Tim Settle added this offseason, but last year, opposing RB rooms averaged 20 more rushing yards per game than their season average, which was the third worst.
