Saquon Barkley's deficit against the Jaguars causes great disbelief among NFL fans

Saquon Barkley added another standout play on Sunday to the highlight of his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The seven-year veteran running back turned a seemingly mundane 14-yard reception into a memorable sequence in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Barkley deflected the pass and unleashed a nasty spin move on Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd as he spun up before making a ridiculous backwards dive that left him without looking at Jags cornerback Jarrian Jones had to.

In case the description doesn't do the play justice, the slow-motion replay captured the stunning moment, giving Barkley another stunning play to add to his many this season. Barkley signed with the Eagles in free agency this spring after spending six seasons with the New York Giants.

Barkley's 180-degree turn quickly went viral as reactions poured in on social media and many fans struggled to understand what they had just seen.
