Philadelphia Eagles was clearly a confident team on the way into the Super Bowl Lix, despite Kansas City Chiefs heading against them looking for their third straight Lombardi trophy.
Saquon Barkley’s speech before the game, filmed up to “Big Game,” proved that trust was high for one of the team’s most important players.
Barkley, together with other senior members in Eagles, held a team speech where he gave a fiery assessment of the matchup front.

“When I watch movies throughout the week, my confidence grows even more and I hope in guys feel the same. These guys can’t f — with us. They really can’t.”
Eagles drove high from a blow -up victory over the Washington commanders of the NFC championship to earn their place in the Super Bowl.
But all week, a potential NFL story for Chiefs was discussed, and no matter how good a team may be, it can be a scary task to meet a team that has won back-to-back NFL titles.

However, Barkley was honest with how he felt about Chiefs’ comfort in this game.
“I don’t care how many times they’ve been here,” Barkley continued. “I don’t care how many times they’ve won it. They haven’t seen a team like this.”
Barkley’s words were proven true as Chiefs looked like the team that wasn’t ready at the moment, while Eagles blew them out, 40-22, at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans to win the franchise’s second Lombardi trophy.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, named Super Bowl Lix MVP, also gave a speech that was also recorded. He said that going to the Super Bowl two seasons ago was a life -changing moment.
“I put a good show, but I left that morf — am empty,” Hurts said, referring to the close loss that Eagles had against Kansas City in the end.
“Ask yourself how you want to be remembered,” Hurts told his teammates.
In the end, this Eagles team will be remembered not only as the team that stopped the NFL story, but also as one of the best teams ever gathered to win it all.

And while the play on the field is the main caught, the mindset was clearly set by the team’s stars to get them prepared for what should come on game day.
