PHILADELPHIA — The foreboding forecast finally kicked in around 3:35 p.m. on Sunday when the expected snow started to fall. At that exact time, a hurricane also touched down at Lincoln Financial Field.
The name of the destructive storm? Saquon Barkley.
The force of nature got the ball with his team, the Eagles, trailing 7-6. By the time Barkley finished running, the Eagles were ahead 13-6 and never trailed again.
Barkley ripped through a gaping hole on the right side, saw Kamren Kinchens filling the gap and cut away from the safety as if Kinchens’ feet were cemented into the turf en route to a 62-yard touchdown sprint.
