Video: Peyton, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan react to Saquon’s drop, Kirk Cousins’ GW drive | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning have been through it ManningCast aired when Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley dropped a pass that would have led to a crucial first down in Monday’s 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Peyton stood up from his chair as Eli did a full-on “Surrender Cobra” as the ball fell to the turf. Former Falcons star Matt Ryan, however, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The three retired quarterbacks also provided insight during Atlanta’s winning drive, and Peyton’s fighting spirit flowed freely as Atlanta’s Kirk Cousins ​​marched the offense down the field with no timeouts.

Barkley had another strong performance in his second game with Philly. He ran for 95 yards on 22 carries and caught four passes for 21 yards. However, the drop is the only thing people will remember.

“I let my team down today,” he told reporters. “I shouldn’t have put the defense in that position. If I make the catch, it’s game over.”

On the other side it looked completely different.

The Falcons’ comeback has fundamentally changed the conversation surrounding Cousins. The four-time Pro Bowler just didn’t appear to be 100 percent in Week 1, his first start since tearing his Achilles tendon, and Atlanta’s offense couldn’t get much going in the first half.

After halftime, Cousins ​​flipped a switch.
