More so, the football was headed to their best player on an A.J. Brown-less day, running back Saquon Barkley, who handled all four previous targets that went in his direction on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
Had Barkley reeled in the catch, it was first down with 100 seconds-or-do to go with Atlanta having no timeouts. Instead the marquee free-agent acquisition, who rushed for 95 yards on 22 carries and added another 21 in the passing game failed to handle the throw, leaving Jake Elliott to deposit a 28-yard chip shot and giving the Eagles a still-precarious 21-15 lead with 1:39 left.- The Eagles ran 27 plays vs. four for Atlanta at one point in the fourth quarter to nearly close the deal. The biggest play came on a 4th-and-1 play at the Falcons' 39-yard line when C.J.
Hurts put the ball on the RB for what would have been at least a first down but Barkley dropped giving the Falcons a 1:39 to turn a 21-15 deficit into a 22-21 win. It's hard to argue with the Eagles putting the football in what has been their best player's hands but Barkley failed.- Too often in the Nick Sirianni era the Eagles get downfield in the quick passing game too soon. Tonight, that was the case with both Cam Jurgens on two occasions and Lane Johnson.
