In a heartbreaking 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took responsibility for a crucial drop that could have sealed the victory. With just under two minutes left, Barkley failed to catch a pass from Jalen Hurts on a critical third-and-3, which would have either secured a first down or a touchdown, allowing the Falcons to score the game-winning touchdown shortly after. Barkley, who had a solid performance with 95 rushing yards, expressed disappointment, stating, 'I let my team down today,' and acknowledged he needed to improve on such key plays. Although coach Nick Sirianni defended the decision to pass instead of run, analytics indicated that the Eagles had a high probability of winning had they executed the play differently. The loss drops the Eagles to 1-1 as they prepare for a game against the New Orleans Saints next week.
