Just an unbelievable play. So unbelievable, in fact, that the NFL tested Barkley for performance-enhancing drugs immediately after Sunday's game.

Here's Barkley discussing the hurdle and the drug test on the Air It Out podcast with AJ Greene and Justin Pugh:

NFL drug testing is supposedly conducted randomly, but it would be hard to blame the NFL if they singled Barkley out after that play. Here's an alternate angle, showing some of the greatest athletes on Earth in complete shock over what they just saw:

League execs weren't the only ones to question whether Barkley had something special in his system. Twitter's @JankyRondo decided that Philadelphia cheesesteak joints must be putting crack in the cheesesteaks. Not only did he call on the NFL Players Association to investigate, but he did some digging of his own, contacting Dalessandro's Steaks in Roxborough.

"We do not put crack in the cheesteaks," lied the person who answered the phone at Dalessandro's.
