Cameras caught a moving and powerful interaction between Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley near the end of Super Bowl 59.
Hurts and Barkley led the Eagles to a stunning 40-22 blowout win over the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The victory secured Philly’s second Lombardi Trophy in eight seasons and denied KC of the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.
The Eagles would not have reached the mountaintop without Barkley, who rushed for a career-high 2,005 yards in the regular season en route to a Super Bowl title. Not bad after signing a lucrative three-year deal worth $37.75 million a year ago.
And Jalen Hurts was sure to let his superstar running back know that as the clock ticked down on Super Bowl 59. NFL cameras and microphones captured the heartwarming message Hurts had for Barkley on the sidelines.
“That’s you, that’s you, that’s you. I know it’s all of us, but you don’t understand the difference you made. You know, we right there. But you like that last piece, man.”

The Eagles didn’t actually need Barkley at his best on Sunday, with the rushing champion tallying just 57 rushing yards on 25 carries. Of course, the Chiefs’ priority of stopping Barkley and the ground game opened up room for Hurts to pick them apart in the passing game.
