Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson stood up for running back Saquon Barkley following his miscue during the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles' 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
While holding a three-point lead, the Eagles were one first down away from icing the game on their penultimate drive, but Barkley dropped a pass that almost certainly would have ended it.
That stopped the clock, forced the Eagles to settle for three and gave the Falcons the ball back down by six with 1:39 remaining.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins remarkably drove the Falcons down the field in about one minute despite having no timeouts, and he threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Drake London with 34 seconds left.
