Barkley can’t be stopped, can’t be reasoned with, and your Earth weapons only make him stronger.
I have been watching football for over three decades at this point and, well, what Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley just did to the Jacksonville Jaguars defense is, without a doubt, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on a football field. Just...just check it out.
What the hell, dude?!?!?! WHO EVEN THINKS TO ATTEMPT JUMPING OVER ANOTHER GROWN UP BACKWARDS?!?!?!?!?!?! Saquon Barkley, that’s who. And he did all of this after an already impressive run after catch.
Barkley caught the swing pass from Jalen Hurts, ran through Tyson Campbell’s weak arm tackle, sent Devin Lloyd to the shadow realm via Spin Cycle, and then hurdled BACKWARDS over 5-foot-11 cornerback Jarrian Jones for an extra couple of yards. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE!!!!!
Barkley has two catches for 34 yards and a touchdown (which was also an insane catch btw) while also rushing for 36 yards on 10 carries as the Birds lead the Jags 10-0 just before halftime. Certainly worth noting that Barkley’s TD grab was the first time that Philadelphia has scored points in the first quarter this season.
Can’t believe the New York Giants just let him walk out the door!
