Saquon Barkley\u00a0was all over the place for the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>\u00a0in the first half of the NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders. He\u00a0scored two touchdowns in the first quarter<\/a>\u00a0and, late in the first half, even managed to draw a penalty to give his team a huge advantage.<\/p>\n

With Philly up 20-12, Barkley caught a pass on third-and-10 and sprinted to get the first down. However, it quickly became clear he wouldn’t get there, so Barkley ran out of bounds a few yards short of the line to gain. Commanders cornerback Mike Saintrisil came flying it and hit Barkley right as he went out of bounds. The rookie was flagged for a late hit, giving the Eagles a free first-and-goal. They’d convert and score their fourth touchdown of the half shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n
