The Washington Commanders understand that containing Saquon Barkley is of the utmost importance if they want to upset the rival Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game. They failed to do so on the Eagles' first play from scrimmage.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley asserted himself early in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders.

Barkley’s prop bets were the most popular markets at BetMGM ahead of Sunday’s game between the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. Once the game started, though, Washington was absolutely helpless to what everybody knew was coming. Barkley broke his first carry of the game 60 yards for a touchdown, cashing several of those bets in one single play.
