Which Underdogs Will Shock the NFL Playoffs and Turn Super Wild Card Weekend Upside Down?
Whereas Barkley is finding plenty of open spaces to run before being touched, Green Bay’s Josh Jacobs has a knack for picking up yards after being hit. Only Derrick Henry (685) and Barkley (595) have amassed more yards after contact than Jacobs’ 581, and no player has totaled more missed tackles than Jacobs’ 72.
In the opener, Jacobs forced Philadelphia’s defense to miss four potential tackles on his way to rushing for 84 yards with his longest run going for 32 yards. The Eagles struggled to stop the run, as backup Emanuel Wilson rushed for 46 yards on just four carries and the Packers averaged 7.8 yards per attempt.
