As the Falcons took down the Eagles on "Monday Night Football," Peyton and Eli Manning were just as shocked as everybody else. Kirk Cousins led Atlanta to a close 22-21 win in Philadelphia with a game-winning drive with under a minute remaining. A crucial moment in the game, though, came while the Eagles were still up by three points.
On a third-and-3, Saquon Barkley dropped an easy pitch-and-catch, forcing the Eagles to kick a field goal and take a six-point lead that they then relinquished. Here's how Peyton and Eli Manning reacted on the 'ManningCast' to Barkley's massive drop, plus their thoughts on the Falcons' game-winning drive.
