It’s been the year of the running back in the NFL, and Sunday’s Packers/Eagles matchup will feature two of this year’s best at the position. The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley joined one of the NFL’s most exclusive clubs when he cracked the 2,000-yard barrier this year, while Josh Jacobs rewarded the Packers’ faith in him by turning a 1,300-yard effort that would have probably garnered a lot more attention across the league if not for Barkley and Derrick Henry.
But how great were their seasons in the context of the histories of their respective teams, as well as the league as a whole?
