PHILADELPHIA – Saquon Barkley can do it through the air, too.
The Philadelphia Eagles got off to a fast start in their home tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 20-yard strike from Jalen Hurts to Barkley with 10:22 remaining in the opening quarter.
A big special teams play set the stage, as Sydney Brown jarred the ball loose on an Austin Trammell punt return that was recovered in Jacksonville territory by Kelee Ringo.
Two plays later, Hurts dropped back and floated one down the right sideline, hitting Barkley in stride for the score.
THE EAGLES SCORE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

Barkley entered the day ranked second in rushing yards (766) and yards per game (109.4) with five touchdowns. He now has two receiving TDs on the year, having hauled in an 18-yarder in the opener against the Green Bay Packers.
Barkley’s score marked the first first-quarter points for the Eagles all season. They were the only team in the league that had failed to score in the opening frame coming into the game.
