The Washington Commanders face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, the first of two division games they will play to close out the season. In between they play against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons and Dallas Cowboys will (hopefully) be the Commanders’ least worries, but the Eagles game will have the biggest impact on their playoff hopes.

The commanders currently control their own destiny; They are firmly in seventh place in the playoff standings, just behind the Green Bay Packers. But the Seattle Seahawks are hot on the Commanders’ heels and could become spoilsport if the boys in burgundy and gold lose one of their last three games.

One thing that would really help the Commanders when they face the Eagles this week is if they could steal one of their players. The last time these two teams met, we considered adding wide receiver AJ Brown to Jayden Daniels’ arsenal alongside Terry McLaurin. This time, however, we’re going in a different direction. The Commanders’ ground game needs some help, and Saquon Barkley is the perfect running back to get it back on track.

Let’s be honest: As much as we love Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler and they are both fantastic running backs, they are not on the same level as Barkley. Barkley currently leads all running backs with 1,688 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 5.9 yards per carry. He’s been insanely good this year, and that hardly does justice to how he looks on the field.

The Commanders’ ground game could use a boost, and it’s a shame they can’t really steal Barkley from the Eagles for a week. What a treat that would be!
