It’s not a traditional tradition that when an athlete does something cool in their sport, a random drug test will follow, but it happens often enough to assume something has happened.

Following his viral reverse tackle on a Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback on Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Saquon Barkley revealed. Air it out shows with AJ Greene and Justin Pugh that he had to take a random drug test at the NFL (starts at 7:25).

Barkley’s tackle on Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones is on the short list of the greatest individual moments in an NFL game this season. It was his third move of the game after a juke made a defender miss, which led directly to a perfect spin move that made Devin Lloyd regret the choices that led to that moment.

In the same interview (starts at 8:10), Barkley said he intended to make another spin move to avoid Jones, but then instinct took over after realizing the Jaguars cornerback he was walking down and jumped over him as he faced the opposite direction. .

While the game was rightfully considered cool, it also happened in the middle of what turned out to be a pivotal push in the game. The Eagles were facing a third-and-6 from the Jaguars 44-yard line when they got within 14 yards of Barkley.

The drive led to a field goal that put the Eagles up 10-0. They would go on to win 28-23 when Nakobe Dean intercepted Trevor Lawrence’s pass in the end zone with 1:42 left.

If not for the three points the Eagles got late in that drive, the Jaguars might have played for a field goal to win the game rather than making an aggressive drive into the end zone.

Barkley finished the day with a season-high 199 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns on 30 carries in the win.
