Watch: Incredible Saquon Barkley juke and drive is wasted by Eagles

It was an otherwise brilliant drive for the Philadelphia Eagles and running back Saquon Barkley.

Barkley played high school ball in Pennsylvania and stayed in-state for college to become a star for the Penn State Nittany Lions. One got the sense ahead of "Monday Night Football's" matchup with the Atlanta Falcons that Barkley was excited to put on a show.

And for much of Philly's second drive of the game.

He had two nine yard runs, a 10 yard run and an 11 yard run and looked like the greatest running back to ever grace the NFL in just a handful of plays. I mean, just look at this juke:

The Eagles rode Barkley to the Atlanta 15 and looked poised to punch it in, but they went away from him for three straight plays to set up a fourth-and-4 from the Atlanta nine.

What resulted was a defensive stand by the Falcons that kept Philly off the board, but oh what a disappointing end it was to what was otherwise an incredible offensive drive — especially by Barkley.

After a season opener that saw him find the end zone three times, Barkley appears to be extremely comfortable as a member of the Eagles.
