00:00Let me give you some of the highlights. 22-21, Falcons beat the Eagles. Of course, the key

00:09play in this, Scotty, was the third down call by the Eagles deep in Falcons territory. Under

00:15two minutes to go, Barkley drops the pass that, of course, would have given them a first

00:20down and they'd be able to finish the game off. Or they could have just ran it and killed

00:23another 40 seconds off the clock. They did not do either of those things. Instead, Falcons

00:28get the ball after they kick a field goal to go up six. Down the field they go. Really

00:33the best offensive drive the Falcons had all night. And it ends, Scotty, with Kirk Cousins,

00:39Mr. Primetime, finding London in the corner on Westwood One Sports.

00:45Third down five, the ball at the eight of Philadelphia. Cousins in the gun, three receivers

00:51right, looks into the nickel. The shotgun snap, the center block, the line drive throw,

00:56far side, caught, touchdown. At the pylon, London caught at chest high, touchdown, Atlanta.

01:0434 seconds to go. They've tied the game. A seven-yard Cousins touchdown pass. Holy smokes.

01:18Yeah, I used a different phrase than I was watching. A different word altogether. But

01:23look, Drake, don't call me Danny London. Mafia knows that name. Anyway, what a play.

01:31Better than the Barkley play, where he, I think, dropped a perfect pass in the flat

01:38right in his hands. He dropped it. I don't want to hear it was a bad pass. It was a perfect

01:42pass that he dropped. Now look, I have a question for you. This guy had a really good game.

01:48He was averaging at 1.9, .8, a pop on the ground. He was doing whatever he wanted. Aikman

01:55was raving how he's got such a better line in front of him. He's going to lead the league

02:00in rushing. He threw that out there last night as well. And then he cost him the game. So

02:07my question is, is he the answer to the Eagle season or is he the reason the Giants got

02:17rid of him? I thought they got rid of him because they didn't want to pay him because

02:21he was always injured, not because he wasn't a great player. I'll agree with him that he

02:26never had a line in New York. Everything he did in New York was pretty much on his own.

02:31Look, first of all, I'm glad that you were able to stay focused on the game,

02:35even though ESPN became like a Philadelphia Eagle affiliate.

02:38Oh, that's embarrassing. Talk about that on another subject.

02:43It was hard to see through all of that with all the Eagle propaganda that was going on during the

02:49game. But look, I think that there's some giant fans out there who last night were kind of given

02:56a yeah. You see, that's what he does. He drops passes in big spots. He does that. Look, I think

03:02Saquon Barkley is a really good football player. Scotty, you had one bad play last night. The

03:06unfortunate thing for him is he had the one bad play at the absolute worst time that you could

03:11have the bad play. Dropping the football at the end there. I think he's already through two games.

03:16You can see what he brings to that offense. He had three touchdowns the first game.
