New Orleans (AP) – Saquon Barkley has established an NFL precipitation record in the Super Bowl, held her young daughter as a torrent of confetti floated around them and made a smile as he was holding A Philadelphia newspaper with “Champs!” Stamped above his photo.
The Eagles running at the time grabbed what he really wanted to kiss and hold this night in the superdome – what he could only hope was ahead after his tumultuous end in New York who diverted his career in the Turnpike to Philadelphia.
The rusher of 2,000 yards deserved its turn with the Lombardi trophy.
“She looked prettier in person, I’m going to tell you,” said Barkley. “Something you dream of. I’m just happy to hold it, to be able to kiss him.
Barkley finished with 57 modest meters Eagles 40-22 victory over Kansas City In the Super Bowl – A derisory number for an elite back which displayed seven hit points of more than 60 yards this season – but the total was sufficient to establish the precipitation record in one season, the qualifying series included, exceeding The brand of 2476 yards by Terrell Davis.
Perhaps he finished the biggest season of any free agent in the history of Philadelphia sport in the largest championship team that the city has ever seen with 2,504 yards in total and 18 affected on the ground.
“Hell of a year, right?” I couldn’t do it without the big boys in advance, everyone in this team. I just appreciate them – the whole organization of the Eagles, “said Barkley. “Of me being a newcomer, welcoming me with open arms and helping to strengthen self -confidence too. It was really useful.
“It was a year hell, but all figures and statistics are cool, but the best is to be able to keep this Lombardi trophy.”
Barkley, the AP NFL Player of the yearonly needed 30 yards for the Total of Davis in 1998 when he helped the Broncos in Denver win the Super Bowl. This season too, Davis was the last ball carrier to win the Super Bowl MVP.
Barkley ran the ball during the first superb offensive game and finally obtained the brand after a slow first half on a race of 2 yards on the last half-time game. Barkley had 12 races for 31 yards for 2.6 yards per race. It has an average of 5.8 yards in the regular season.
The Eagles were well without the generally spectacular production of Barkley. Thanks to two defense interceptions and two affected in total of Jalen Hurts, the Eagles led the 24-0 chiefs at halftime.
Barkley had reasons to feel festive on Sunday, not only to set the record and play in his first Super Bowl in his first season with Les Eagles, he was also 28 years old.
His 2,005 yards on the ground in the regular season made Barkley the ninth running in the history of the NFL to reach 2,000 yards and he entered the Super Bowl with 2,447 yards in total.
The seven affected Barkley affected by more than 60 yards (which include the playoffs) were a record and he joined Davis as one of the only two players in the history of the NFL with at least 400 yards on the ground And five affected in a single playoff series.
Longty reluctant to spend major money on runners, the Eagles have collected the awards and a rewriting of the Book of Franchise Records on their 26 million dollars guaranteed Jumps out of Barkley. He flashed the kind of fact that fans say that fans are torn directly from a video game; Including an obstacle behind that would be mental which was so foreign to Madden sport had to publish an update to make it possible in its game.
There was nothing virtual in this Lombardi trophy.
“It’s better in person than in Madden, I will tell you that playing when he was a child,” said Barkley. “That’s all you dream of. I am just happy to be able to hold it, to kiss him and to be world champions. »»
All this after leaving for free agency was told by the documentary series “Hard Knocks”.
In the crucial scene, the director general of the Giants, Joe Schoen, told Barkley New York would not make him an offer or did not hear the franchise label. The giants rather allowed Barkley to test the free agent market, a decision which sent him to a rival of the NFC East.
“I’m going to have a hard time sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia, I’m going to tell you,” the owner of the John Mara team told Schoen in the series. “As I told you, being with enough players, he is by far the most popular player we have.”
Mara could have a difficult night to wink after this Super Bowl.
Stuck in two quarry qualifying games in six seasons with the Giants, Barkley probably had the biggest season of any player in the History of Eagles. His 2,005 yards on the ground (a record of Eagles, eighth in the history of the NFL) left him only 101 shy to break the record for the season of Eric Dickerson of 2,105.
The Eagles rested Barkley in the regular season final, refusing the shot to pass Dickerson.
There is no stay in the Super Bowl – and now there is no ball carrier who rushed for more yards in a wire season.
