Saquon Barkley's crucial drop was a big factor in the loss that left the Eagles 1-1 heading to New Orleans next to play the undefeated Saints.
PHILADELPHIA - PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles looked like they were about to move to 2-0, but a dropped pass by Saquon Barkley that likely would have given the Eagles a first down and allowed them to run out the clock was deadly.
“They did a lot of things out of their tendencies with that route. I saw two people go in, and usually the tendency is everybody flowing that way, so I jumped inside too fast and had my eyes in the backfield. That was bad. Then he broke out, so it was, yeah, I that up bad. That play for sure right there is on me.”
The Eagles got a big play from safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson when he stood up Bijan Robinson on fourth-and-one at Philly’s 39. The play helped the Eagles run the clock down 1:39 as Jake Elliott kick a 28-yard field goal for a 21-15 lead. "We can’t dial in on one thing. Everyone wants to look at one play, and this and that. We’re a team, and things happen. We gotta focus up. I got my brothers’ back just like they got my back."
