Four games into the season, the Eagles’ offense was stuck. With the team on its bye week, key members of the offensive line felt it was time to speak up. So they went to their head coach and offensive coordinator with feedback. It was straightforward and to the point. “We’ve got Saquon [bleeping] Barkley. Let’s give him the [bleeping] ball.”

Message received. Since then, the Eagles haven’t lost, climbing their way to the top of the NFC.
