Heckuva night for Zack Baun 👏 pic.twitter.com/1GRDkHrwpE
In a strange game played on a Friday night of opening week, it was the first NFL game ever played in the Southern Hemisphere. Arena Corinthians had hosted a soccer game just 5 days earlier, so the home of the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista was a bit sloppy.
Play of the Game Saquan Barkley dominant wheel route
Saquan Barkley takes it in my book. This wheel route pass from Jalen Hurts just shows the skilled player the eagles picked up this offseason.
SAQUON BARKLEY UNREAL FIRST TOUCHDOWN AS EAGLE
Offensive Player of the Game - Saquan Barkley
Of course, it has to be Saquan Barkley. He debuted with 3 TDs and looked dominant in the effort. Take a look at Sal Paolantonio describing his immediate impact on the game and the Eagles offense.
Defensive Player of the Game - Zach Baun
Zach Baun’s #53 Jersey did not stay clean in this effort which featured 2 sacks, including the final play of the game. The 5th year linebacker out of Wisconsin gets the nod as the boo-birds defensive player of the week.
