While the early returns for Saquon Barkley as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles have been overwhelmingly positive, the two-time Pro Bowler's dropped pass late in the fourth quarter on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons proved extremely costly.
After the Eagles' 22-21 loss, Barkley took responsibility for not making the catch on third-and-3 that would have sealed the win for Philadelphia.
"I dropped the ball," he told reporters. "I let my team down today. The defense should not have been put in that position."
The Eagles were holding a 21-18 lead with 1:46 remaining and trying to run out the clock.
