Protecting Barkley in open space is a key part of Philadelphia's game plan moving forward, but he's also the man Baltimore knows they need to stop if they want to win on Sunday.

Saquon Barkley is putting up numbers the NFL hasn't seen in over a decade, making his argument to become the first running back to win NFL MVP in 12 years. There isn't an MVP case for Barkley without his rushing totals after halftime of games.

Receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) and safety Sydney Brown (knee) are also questionable. Cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has been ruled out, as expected. It would be unusual for a player to clear concussion protocol in less than a week.
