Late in the fourth quarter of Monday\u2019s 10-7 win by the Eagles over the Packers, Philadelphia faced a second and seven from its own 44. Running back Saquon Barkley got the handoff, with a chance to break free.<\/p>\n

Enter Packers linebacker Micah Parsons. More specifically, enter his leg. Parsons tripped Barkley, causing him to fall down short of the line to gain.<\/p>\n
Parsons was not penalized. He was, however, fined $12,172 by the league office. No flag was thrown.<\/p>\n
Barkley gained five yards on the next snap, giving the Eagles a fresh set of downs. But the Eagles should have gotten 15 yards of field position, which would have come with a first and 10 from Green Bay\u2019s 35.<\/p>\n
The drive eventually sputtered on the Green Bay 35, on a fourth-and-six play that saw the Eagles take a shot at the end zone. When it failed, the Packers received one last chance to win the game in regulation or to force overtime, with 27 seconds to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
