Peyton and Eli Manning can’t believe it after Saquon Barkley’s drop

Peyton and Eli Manning couldn’t believe that Saquon Barkley had dropped the ball.

The Eagles led the Falcons 18-15 with 1:45 left in the fourth quarter of their “Monday Night Football” game, and with Atlanta out of timeouts, a first down from third-and-3 would have decided the game.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a ball to Barkley that was perfectly positioned to pick up a first down, but Barkley took his eyes off it and dropped the pass, forcing Philadelphia to settle for a field goal.

When the ball hit the field, the Manning brothers were distraught during the simulcast of ESPN2’s “ManningCast.”

Eli held his hands over his head and remained silent.

Peyton had to get up and pace for a moment before he could explain that Hurts had thrown the ball perfectly for Barkley.

A common motif throughout the “ManningCast” broadcasts is Peyton cheering for the offense on both sides and disapproving of anyone who lets his quarterback down.

The two brothers and guest Matt Ryan, the former Falcons quarterback, agreed that it was a bad decision by the Eagles to throw the ball in that situation and risk running out the clock.

The Eagles settled for a field goal and took a 21-15 lead.

Sure enough, Kirk Cousins ​​led the Falcons onto the field and threw a touchdown pass to Drake London, securing the 22-21 victory.

The Falcons clinched the win when Hurts threw an interception on the Eagles’ ensuing drive.
