The upcoming Super Bowl features the NFL's best roster versus the top quarterback, with both teams emphasizing efficiency and ball control. A critical matchup is Barkley, who is on the verge of breaking rushing records, against the Chiefs' defense. Barkley's unique talent thrives even against crowded defenses, complicating efforts to slow him down. With his impressive statistics and ability to evade tackles, stopping him is a significant concern for Kansas City, highlighting the tactical challenges of the big game.
Barkley prefers when there are more bodies up front; if he can make one defender miss, there are fewer defenders available further down the field to stop him.
Barkley has forced 77 missed tackles this season and is already up to 54 runs of 10 yards or more.
The typical answer to slowing a great back is to crowd the line of scrimmage, but Barkley is a one-of-one talent.
To limit Barkley's impact, the Kansas City Chiefs will need to force negative plays on first down.
