It’s a moment Saquon Barkley and his loved ones will forever cherish.
Hours after the Eagles clinched a Super Bowl berth with a dominant 55-23 win over the Commanders in Sunday’s NFC Championship game, Barkley’s longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon, took to Instagram on Monday to recap the sweet family festivities at Lincoln Financial Field.
“If I could wrap my arms around this memory, I would…,” Congdon captioned the snaps of the Eagles’ star running back and the couple’s two children, daughter Jada and son Saquon Jr., in the middle of confetti celebrations.
Barkley, 27, had an explosive performance in the NFC тιтle game, rushing for three touchdowns, including a 60-yard run on the Eagles’ first play.
That came after a sensational two-touchdown, 205-yard performance in Philadelphia’s divisional round win over the Rams the previous weekend.
“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things I envision,” Saquon said postgame. “The most special thing about it was being out there with my family.”
Barkley and Congdon first met during their college days at Penn State. They welcomed daughter Jada in April 2018, the same month the Giants selected him second overall.
Son Saquon Jr. arrived in 2022.
It’s been a season to remember for Barkley.
The MVP candidate, who left the Giants in March for a three-year, $37.75 million contract with Philadelphia in free agency, became the ninth running back to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season.
Barkley finished the regular season with 2,005 yards, just shy of Eric Dickerson’s record of 2,105.
The Eagles, making their second Super Bowl appearance in three years, will face the reigning champion Chiefs in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
The championship contest will be a rematch of Super Bowl 2023, when Kansas City defeated Philadelphia, 38-35.
Barkley is ready for his sH๏τ at Super Bowl glory.
“The goal wasn’t just getting there, the goal is to win, and we’re going to celebrate and enjoy this, get right back to work,” he said.
