Fresh off a Super Bowl LIX victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is already looking towards establishing a lasting legacy. The Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs not only secured the Lombardi Trophy but also prevented Kansas City from achieving an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title.

Barkley reflected on the journey and the team's potential in the post-game interview. He acknowledged the seven-year path filled with challenges and injuries that led him to this moment. The running back expressed awe at the talent surrounding him on the Eagles' roster, highlighting the numerous Pro Bowlers and All-Pros on both offense and defense. He admitted being surprised by the defense's top ranking but recognized the team's collective effort as the key to their success. Barkley concluded by posing a rhetorical question, "Why not start our dynasty now?"

In addition to the Super Bowl victory, Barkley achieved a personal milestone, setting a new record for most rushing yards in a single season, combining regular season and postseason stats. His 57 yards in the Super Bowl brought his season total to 2,504 rushing yards, surpassing the previous record held by Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis since 1998. Barkley credited his offensive line and the entire Eagles organization for their support, emphasizing the team's role in rebuilding his confidence. He acknowledged the significance of individual accolades but ultimately valued the Lombardi Trophy above all else.
