Eagles legend Jason Kelce drops 1-word reaction as Saquon Barkley completes 60-yard TD on first play

Jason Kelce's social media erupted with a single-word post in the aftermath of a stunning touchdown by the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders.

The reaction came after Saquon Barkley's electrifying first-play touchdown left the fans and experts in awe. Kelce simply had one word in response to the play:

"MVP," the former Eagles center wrote on X.

Saquon Barkley's performance was electric. On the Eagles' first offensive possession, he transformed a routine handoff into a 60-yard touchdown that instantly changed the game's momentum.

The running back broke two tackle attempts, spun away from defenders, and raced swiftly down the field.

NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick recently discussed Barkley's impact on "The Pat McAfee Show" (Jan 25):

"You can't give up any long runs to him. He's going to get some seven, eight, 10-yarders, but it's the 60, 70-yarders that are back-breaking. He's definitely a hard guy to stop but I think tackling is the No. 1 issue with him, particularly in the secondary ...

"They're a hard offense to stop. They've got a great offensive line and are well-coached. They are very good. I think what Washington wants to do is make Hurts beat them and not let Barkley beat them. That's easier said than done."

The statistics tell an impressive story. Barkley is now the ninth running back in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in the regular season. He's now a top MVP finalist and a strong Offensive Player of the Year candidate.

The Eagles' offseason acquisition of Barkley has proved transformative. In the NFC Championship game, Barkley's impact was immediate. His first carry went for 60 yards and a touchdown, giving the Eagles a 7-3 lead. On the next drive, he scored again, this time from four yards out. Two carries, 64 yards, two touchdowns.

Kick returner Will Shipley contributed to the momentum, taking the opening kickoff 35 yards to the Eagles' 40-yard line. This set the stage for Barkley's game-changing play.

This gameplay is a continuation of Saquon Barkley's remarkable postseason dominance. The running back has rushed for three touchdowns of at least 60 yards in his last two postseason games, becoming a critical factor in the Eagles' playoff push.
