In perfect cohesion with the NFL during its first-ever game in Sao Paulo, Brazil, new Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley used 26 touches to embark on a world tour of his own, all across the field. Philadelphia’s preferred answer to every test the Green Bay Packers provided, Barkley dazzled as both a rusher and receiver, starting with an 18-yard wheel route for his first-ever Eagles touchdown. Leaving no box unchecked, the two-time Pro Bowler returned soon after, turning a pair of draw plays into respective touchdowns, captaining Week 1’s 34-29 win on Sept. 6, 2024. The later-named NFC Player of the Week concluded by turning the 26 touches into 132 yards and three scores.
