Saquon Barkley just set the gridiron on fire, and the internet is losing it. In the Divisional Round showdown, Barkley flexed two jaw-dropping TDs like it was no big deal — except it was a big deal.
Philadelphia Eagles fans are calling him their superhero, while the Los Angeles Rams? They’re probably still looking for the brakes.

And then there were the spicy takes. “Bro owns the Rams 😭😭,” one fan wrote, summing up the chaos. Barkley’s dominance over the Rams wasn’t a fluke.

Another fan broke it down further: “282 yards on those four 60+ yard runs.” Clearly, when Barkley gets loose, he’s gone.
The wild reactions didn’t stop there. One fan declared Barkley the Rams’ new “owner,” while another succinctly crowned him “MVP.” With numbers like these, it’s hard to argue.
Here’s the kicker: Barkley admitted postgame to making a massive mistake before his electric 78-yard touchdown. That’s right, even on an “off play,” he’s unstoppable.
Barkley’s Wrong Turn Sparks a 78-Yard Masterpiece
Barkley just pulled off the ultimate “oops, but make it legendary” moment in the Eagles’ Divisional Round victory over the Rams. His 78-yard touchdown almost didn’t happen because Barkley, of all people, lined up on the wrong side.
After dropping over 200 rushing yards, Barkley spilled the beans postgame. “I got on the wrong side. You guys don’t have that part of the story. It worked out pretty well. That was the conversation that we were having back there… We checked it and I was like, ‘Am I supposed to switch?’ He was like, ‘No’… That gives away the play… Wasn’t quite sure, it just worked,” he said.
Moments later, he was blasting past defenders for the game-winning score like nothing had happened.
Mistake or not, Barkley turned a near-blunder into a Philly masterpiece. When he’s on the field, even a hiccup turns into a highlight.
