Saquon Barkley's second foray into the NFL playoffs has been a resounding success. Barkley's decision to join the Philadelphia Eagles was hailed as a potentially league-altering move, and we're seeing that play out in the postseason.

This season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase became the youngest Triple Crown winner in NFL history since Don Hutson. Hutson, now an NFL Hall of Famer, accomplished that feat in 1936. Given the rarity of Chase’s achievement this season, his jersey, gloves and cleats are now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
