It’s difficult to argue with the Philly fans on that one.

 

No one has ever seen a play like the one made by Barkley, but Hail Mary passes get completed once or twice a year in the NFL. Not all are at the end of a game as some are at halftime. Some get completed but don’t wind up in the end zone.

 

They don’t always lead to the team that is victimized going into the tank, but they are common and when successful usually are more the result of the defense failing than anything the offense does.

 

It was certainly the case in this one and not a moment in the same class with Barkley’s blindleap.
