At Lincoln Financial Field they didn’t believe it. They were stunned at what they had just seen. During the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars, corresponding to week 9 of the 2024 NFL season, the local running back starred in a fantasy play just one minute into the second quarter of the game. .
Barkley surprised with his original way of beating the visitors’ cornerback, Jarrian Jones. The movement begins at the Jacksonville 44-yard line on 3rd and 6 yards to advance by the home team. Jalen Hurts passes the ball to Saquon Barkley, who beats Tyson Campbell to a break. Immediately afterward he faces Devin Lloyd, whom he also surprises with a 360-degree turn.
After ‘escaping’ from two opponents, the definitive moment arrives in which Barkley shines. He encounters Jarrian Jones, whom he avoids by turning 180 degrees and jumping over him. With this play, the Eagles running back managed to gain 14 yards. After this spectacular move, he was knocked down by several players from the visiting team, but the performance with which he stood out will be one of the most remembered images in history.
