Saquon Barkley did not find much space when he got the ball. The Steelers admitted to selling out on defense to stop him and it worked, to the tune of 6 yards on 15 carries and Pittsburgh won, 26-16, on Monday night, Sept. 14, 2020, at MetLife Stadium. Credit: Jim McIsaac
Just a few days before Monday’s game against the Steelers, Saquon Barkley spoke about wanting to be an all-time great and an all-around back.
He wound up with one of the worst performances by someone at his position in the recent history of the NFL.
Barkley managed to run for just 6 yards on 15 carries, making him the sixth player since the NFL merger in 1970 to rush for fewer than 10 yards on 15 or more carries.
