With most of the Week 7 NFL schedule in the books it is time to take a look at some of the biggest winners around the league.
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby
The Jaguars desperately needed a win on Sunday. Not only because at 1-5, their season is rapidly slipping away from them, but because they could not afford losing a sixth game to another 1-5 team starting a rookie quarterback.
They ended up with a convincing 32-16 win over the New England Patriots that was highlighted by a big day from Bigbsy. He rushed for 118 yards on 26 carries, scoring a pair of touchdowns in the win.
The second-year back has been outstanding over the past few weeks, rushing for 333 yards on only 53 carries (6.2 yards per rush). He also has four touchdowns during that stretch.
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley
Barkley gave the New York Giants and team owner John Mara their worst nightmare on Sunday by absolutely humiliating them in his first game against his former team.
Barkley ran for 176 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown, helping spark the Eagles offense in a 28-3 win. That stat line included runs of 55, 41 and 38 yards. Barkley has been the one consistent bright spot in the Eagles offense this season and helped carry the team on Sunday.
Cincinnati Bengals kick returner Charlie Jones
Jones opened the Bengals’ 21-14 win with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to help set the tone and then added a 23-yard punt return later in the game. Special teams can play a big role in games and he was outstanding on Sunday.
Also a big win for the new dynamic kickoff return rules to see a big return like this to open a game. This is what the NFL wanted to see when they put this rule change in place.
