A holding penalty on Saquon Barkley was missed by referees in a key moment during the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders game. The missed call allowed Jalen Hurts to connect with A.J. Brown for a 31-yard gain, keeping a drive alive that eventually resulted in an Eagles touchdown. The non-call extended Philadelphia's lead to 20-12 and had a significant impact on the game's outcome.
Philadelphia was down to fourth-and-5 with a little more than two minutes left to play in the opening half, when Jalen Hurts found AJ Brown for a 31-yard pass that kept the drive alive and eventually led to an Eagles touchdown.
But the big play was one that should have been penalized due to a Saquon Barkley holding infraction that was missed by the refs, according to Fox NFL rules analyst Mike Pereira."I don't think there's anything to think about. That was clearly a hold and should've been called.
“I don’t think there’s anything to think about. That was clearly a hold and should’ve been called,” Pereira responded, prompting play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt to sound shocked at what had happened. The non-call certainly had an impact with the Eagles extending their lead to 20-12 at the time and added onto it again later after the Commanders fumbled setting up another Philly touchdown.The Commanders had gone into halftime down 27-15, but they did manage to cut into the deficit with a late third quarter touchdown that made it a 34-23 game.
