The green and white confetti filled Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday night just when the Eagles had planned: they went to the Super Bowl Lix.
The Eagles are returning to the “great game”, with the aim of revenge against Kansas City bosses, who are not only trying to make history in the NFL but also defeat Philadelphia in the Super Bowl LVII to begin this dynasty.
However, for some of these eagles, it is the first time that they have the opportunity of the Vince Lombardi trophy, and the superstar corridor Saquon Barkley is one of them.

When Barkley signed with the Eagles in the free agency, after spending six seasons with the New York giants of the NFC East-Rival, he made the promise to reach the Super Bowl. Now that it really happened, Barkley’s next goal is simple: to overcome the Chiefs.
“That was one of the first conversations I had with [Eagles GM] Howie [Roseman]”Barkley said, through CBS Sports, after the 55-23 victory over Washington’s commanders.” That was the conversation I had with my family. I came to Philadelphia to be part of games like this. Nothing better than a game when you can advance to Super Bowl, so I’m very excited about that. “

Barkley certainly did his part in helping his team get the ticket to New Orleans, scoring three touchdowns and hurrying more than 100 yards once again in this best campaign of his career he continues to add.
Barkley is on the cusp of history, since it seems destined to break the NFL record for most yards by land in a season, including the playoffs, that the member of the Hall of Fame Terrell Davis currently owns 2,476 Yardas Barkley is 2,447 after its 118 yards on Sunday.

He obtained most of them in the first offensive click of the Eagles game: a 60-yard race where he broke multiple rigging commanders of the attempts to find the annotation zone for the advantage of 7-3. That marked his third TouchDown of 60 yards or more in this postseason, the greatest amount in the history of the NFL.
It is great to have individual history, as has mentioned that Barkley wanting to be in the same conversation as Davis, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson and many other corridor elites at the time when the giants took him in second place in general in Penn State.
But Barkley’s first team has always shone, and winning everything means everything.
“I’ve always known who I am,” he said. “I have always known the type of player I have become. Sometimes it takes longer than others. I did not imagine that I would take seven years. I didn’t even imagine that I was in Philadelphia. I thought I would be in New York.

“But no time is better than God’s time.”
If the Eagles will eliminate Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Barkley’s performance will be critical, as he has done throughout the season.
