What a week for Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
First, a win in the NFL's first-ever game in South America. Then, NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for the fourth time in his career. Finally, to top it all off, literally and figuratively, slime courtesy of the Nickelodeon NVP Award.
Barkley scored three touchdowns in his Eagles debut, a 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers, in São Paulo, Brazil on Friday night. Fans from all over voted Barkley's performance as the best of the best in Week 1, worthy of the Nickelodeon NVP honor.
Along with receiving the trophy featuring the classic orange Nickelodeon kaleidoscope blimp, the winner is doused in neon green slime that has been synonymous with the children's entertainment network for decades. Barkley had the perfect person to conduct the coronation ceremony – his daughter, Jada.
After sporting a new type of green, Barkley was willing to let his daughter get away clean, but she instead rushed in for a big bear hug to share in the experience. It was another win for Barkley, who savored the moment with his family.
