Saquon Barkley is going to Super Bowl 59 after another career-defining performance in the NFC Championship Game. He, along with quarterback Jalen Hurts, led the Philadelphia Eagles to a commanding 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders.
Boasting three rushing touchdowns and 118 yards on just 15 carries, Barkley once again told the football world why he’s a game-changer. Now, the Eagles are heading to the Super Bowl to face the Kansas City Chiefs — but first, Barkley’s family celebration after the game is winning hearts online.
Saquon Barkley’s Partner Anna Congdon Pens Heartfelt Message After NFC Championship
After the game, Barkley’s girlfriend, Anna Congdon, took to social media to share heartfelt moments with their children, Jada and Saquon Jr.
“If I could wrap my arms around this memory, I would,” Congdon captioned the photos.
In response, Barkley left a sweet note, writing, “Love you.”

“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things I envision,” Barkley said. “The most special thing about it was being out there with my family. … I know I’ve never been there, but I’ve been there so many times in my head so it’s kind of expected.”
Barkley and Congdon, who met at Penn State, built a beautiful life together. Congdon frequently shares glimpses of their family life, from sunlit beach outings to cozy moments at home, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at their journey.
Barkley has been nothing but fire this season, burning down defenses. Since signing a three-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles, he has rushed for 2,005 yards, becoming only the ninth player in NFL history to surpass the 2,000-yard mark.
Barkley’s focus is now on the next game as the Eagles prepare for their Super Bowl showdown against the reigning champions. “The goal wasn’t just getting there; the goal is to win,” he said.
His seven rushing touchdowns against the Commanders this season tied an NFL record for a single player against one team (playoffs included), and his postseason heroics, including three rushing touchdowns of over 60 yards, are a new benchmark for the 27-year-old.
While the team basks in its NFC triumph, Barkley and Congdon’s shared moments of joy with their family serve as a reminder of what truly matters — both on and off the field.
