NFL World Clashes Over Saquon Barkley Roughing Penalty That Led to Eagles TD

And late in the first half, he even managed to draw a penalty, giving his team a huge advantage.

With the Eagles up 20-12, Barkley caught a pass on 3rd and 10 and ran to get the first down, but he fell short of the line to gain while running out of bounds a few yards short. As he did, Commanders cornerback Saintrisil was speeding over and collided with Barkley before he got out of bounds. Barkley was called for a late hit, which gave the Eagles a first down on the 1-yard line. They scored their 4th touchdown of the half shortly after.

The NFL community was divided on whether the call was justified. The significance of the penalty couldn't be overemphasized because it put the Eagles in a position to potentially score another touchdown rather than kicking a field goal or attempting a fourth-down conversion.

It's a huge game and one that the football world will be talking extensively about for a long time if the Eagles end up winning this game.
