SAO PAULO — Saquon Barkley has been practicing the art of positive thinking since switching teams for the first time in his career.
Yet he probably couldn’t have imagined making such a spectacular debut for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Barkley scored three touchdowns Friday night in the first NFL game in South America and led the Eagles to a 34-29 victory against the Green Bay Packers, who lost quarterback Jordan Love to an injury in the closing seconds.
“I’m always about visualizing success and putting positivity in my mind,” said Barkley, who became the first player to score three touchdowns in his Eagles debut since Terrell Owens in 2004. “That’s one of my goals this year: Be more of a positive thinker.”
Now it’s the Packers who will try to get negative thoughts out of their minds as they worry about the future of Love, who signed a four-year, $220 million extension this summer. Love limped off the field with assistance after getting injured with 6 seconds left.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur had no update on Love’s condition after the game.
The injury came just after Love had thrown a 33-yard completion to Jayden Reed to get the Packers near midfield. On the next play, Love faced major pressure from Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat as he threw a backward pass to Josh Jacobs.
Carter was lying down and had a hold of Love’s left leg when Sweat pushed the quarterback to the ground.
The Packers now anxiously await word on the severity of his injury.
“We know what kind of guy he is, how he approaches everything,” wide receiver Christian Watson said. “Whatever it is, I know he’s going to get through it. We’re going to get through it.”
