Saquon Barkley's electrifying performance in the NFC Championship game propelled the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl LVIII. This marks Barkley's first Super Bowl appearance and the Eagles' third trip to the big game in eight years. The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs, a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, on February 9th. Notably, four former Penn State players will be competing in the Super Bowl, showcasing the Nittany Lions' impact on the NFL.
Saquon Barkley has been a dominant force throughout the 2024-2025 NFL season, and his performance in the NFC Championship game solidified his status as a true superstar. Against the Washington Commanders, Barkley rushed for 118 yards and scored three touchdowns on just 15 carries. This impressive display brought his playoff total to 442 rushing yards and five touchdowns across three games.
Most importantly, Barkley's Philadelphia Eagles secured their spot in Super Bowl LVIII, thanks in large part to his contributions. This marks Barkley's first-ever Super Bowl appearance and the Eagles' third trip to the big game in eight years. They last won the Lombardi Trophy in 2017, defeating the New England Patriots 41-33. The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, on February 9th. The success of the Eagles in the playoffs is not solely attributed to Barkley. Three other former Penn State players are also key contributors to the team. Wide receiver Jahan Dotson and cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields play significant roles in the Eagles' offense and defense, respectively. Dotson, a former first-round pick by the Commanders, has one catch for 2 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs. Castro-Fields, on the other hand, has been on the Eagles' practice squad after starting the season with the Carolina Panthers. Offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad is the lone Nittany Lion representing the Kansas City Chiefs. He has played in only one game this season, Week 18 against the Denver Broncos, but made a strong impression by not allowing a quarterback pressure in 31 snaps, according to PFF
