Unfortunately for Barkley, he hasn’t done much other than this nice throw. He’s just 4-10 passing for 63 yards with an interception and this touchdown. This play is Benn’s only catch of the game through a quarter.
The Eagles traded with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Benn in 2013, but the 25-year-old has yet to play in a regular season game for Philly. He tore his ACL prior to the 2013 season and was placed on the injured reserve.
The Bucs drafted Benn in the second round of the 2010 draft.
Philadelphia drafted Barkley in the fourth round of the 2013 draft. He threw for 300 yards with zero touchdowns and four interceptions in three games in 2013.
