  • Summary

  • It was a dynamic play, a defining moment during the Philadelphia Eagles’ playoff run that helped propel the team closer to its second-ever championship. Whether they ultimately achieve that goal remains to be seen. But what’s already certain is that, regardless of the outcome in Super Bowl 59, running back Saquon Barkley’s snow-blanketed, 78-yard touchdown burst in the NFC divisional round against the LA Rams will go down as one of the greatest sequences in Eagles’ postseason history. How did Barkley’s run materialize? Who were the other key players involved? What was going through their minds as it became clear Barkley had busted loose? Relive the MVP candidate’s memorable run with an oral history compiled by The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, who recently made the rounds in the Eagles’ locker room to get a step-by-step account of what happened. Plus, in a new “Pick Six” segment, Jeff finds out why this season has been Jahan Dotson’s favorite in his three years in the NFL, despite the wideout posting the lowest numbers of his career. They also dish on Penn State preferences, and the vibes inside the Eagles’ receiver room. 00:00 An oral history: Saquon Barkley’s snow-covered, 78-yard touchdown run 11:36 “Pick Six” with Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson Links referenced in this episode: NFL Films’ clip of Saquon Barkley’s 78-yard touchdown vs. LA Rams https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1i66rfu/highlight_nfl_films_footage_of_the_78_yard_saquon/ Vote for unCovering the Birds for the Pen and Pencil Club’s Philly News Awards! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CVEk9HIqnFFM3JqaedQRV_XoecIUatZMv9zxJEZKTRY/viewform?edit_requested=true unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.
