During the season, football on Sundays can seem routine. But there are times where players remind you that they are the best athletes in the world. Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley did just that in Week 9.

Fans Erupt After Saquon Barkley's Unreal Hurdle
During the Eagles matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Barkley caught a pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts and did something in the open field that fans had never seen before — he hurdled backward.
After Barkley broke out his unseen move, fans went wild with reactions on social media.
"This is INSANE! Unreal display of athleticism from Saquon on this play! Helluva effort to get some extra yards!" one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"If he somehow manages to run this in for a TD it becomes the greatest regular season play in football history," another user added.
Nick Sirianni Gets Honest About Eagles, Trade Deadline
With the November 5 NFL trade deadline looming, Eagles fans a hoping the franchise will outsource for help to firm up their roster for what they hope is a deep playoff run. Ahead of the Tuesday deadline Eagles head coach Nick Srianni seemed to be content with the roster they currently have, but says that he "admires," the fact that the front office is always looking to improve.
"I love the team that we have," Sirianni said.
"And I think this team is really coming together. With that being said, I know we're always looking for ways to improve our team. I know [general manager] Howie Roseman is the best at that... I admire that and value that of how he goes to work there."
The Eagles started the season off slowly, beginning the year with a 2-2 record through four games. But it seems that as the season has gone, Siriannin and the Eagles have adapted and improved. They have won three straight games against the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns. They still have some competition in the NFC East with the Washington Commanders sitting at 7-2, but the right move at the trade deadline could change all that.
