Eagles star Saquon Barkley proposes to longtime girlfriend days before Super Bowl LIX: report

Before he chases his first Super Bowl ring, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley was reportedly down on one knee giving a ring to his longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon.

Barkley is now engaged to Congdon, according to People, as he checks off a major life moment ahead of his biggest career game to date as he and the Eagles head to New Orleans to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX this upcoming Sunday.

“I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have so in my career without the help of her,” Barkley told the outlet of Congdon.

The two share two children together, daughter Jada, 6, and son Saquon Jr., 2, and their pre-game ritual of special handshakes and kisses has gone viral in Barkley’s first season with the Eagles.

Barkley and Congdon met at Penn State and have been going strong since 2017. Barkley told People that they will “just sit back and laugh sometimes when [their kids are] over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started.”

It started with the New York Giants, who took Barkley second overall in the 2018 NFL Draft after a stellar Nittany Lions career. However, after a rollercoaster six seasons in New York, which ended badly after not getting what he wanted contract-wise, Barkley signed with the Eagles in free agency this past offseason.

Clearly, it was the right move for the running back, as he could have the best running back season of all-time statistically depending on his performance against the Chiefs.

Personally, the move has been something Barkley says his family has loved, with the city of Philadelphia embracing him right away despite being their rival for years.

Barkley and his family were at Lincoln Financial Field sharing quite the moment when green and white confetti rained down on the Eagles after dominating the Washington Commanders, 55-23, in the NFC Championship.

“If I could wrap my arms around this memory, I would…” Congdon captioned an Instagram post of her family celebrating the victory that put them in Super Bowl LIX. Barkley commented, “Love you,” with a heart emoji.

It has been quite a celebratory year for Barkley, who led the NFL in rushing yards with over 2,000, and it could continue on his 28th birthday, which just so happens to fall on Super Bowl LIX.

“The best birthday gift you can have is playing in the Super Bowl and the only thing better than that is winning the Super Bowl on your Birthday,” he said to People.

Barkley added that he is not focused on his birthday plans at all, hoping to “continue to play at a high level” to help his team beat the Chiefs, a team chasing NFL history as the only squad to win three straight Lombardi Trophies.

Barkley scored three touchdowns for the Eagles in the NFC Championship victory over the Commanders, and he certainly will try to do so again in New Orleans, where his now-fiancee and family will be cheering him on.

Super Bowl LIX will put a cap on an incredible 2024 season that featured a ton of different storylines, beginning with the offseason acquisition that set fans up for the championship.

Saquon Barkley left the New York Giants and signed with the Philadelphia Eagles to bolster the offense and give them the firepower they needed to propel them to an NFC Championship victory over the Washington Commanders. The Eagles are set for a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs powered through an offseason of tumult, and it started right after the Super Bowl during their parade. A shooting at the parade left one dead and shook up players and fans alike. Separately, the organization saw a handful of players have run-ins with law enforcement, including wide receiver Rashee Rice.

With the pressure back on Kansas City, the Chiefs still managed to find themselves going for NFL history.

Here’s what NFL fans need to know about the game.

Who is performing at halftime?

Kendrick Lamar will perform at halftime. He entered the national spotlight last summer with his lyrical feud against rapper Drake. Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” became the song of the summer and was heard blaring on stadium surround systems across sports.

Lamar has won 20 Grammy Awards in his career. It will be his second Super Bowl halftime performance. He joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige on stage in Inglewood, California, for Super Bowl LVI.

Who is singing the national anthem?

Five-time Grammy Award winner Jon Batiste will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the game begins.

The Louisiana native studied at Juilliard and put out albums such as “Times in New Orleans,” “Jazz is Now,” “Social Music” and, most recently, “Beethoven Blues.”

Where is Super Bowl LIX being held?

The Super Bowl will be held in New Orleans at Caesars Superdome, the home of the Saints. New Orleans was initially supposed to host Super Bowl LVIII but the coronavirus pandemic and the NFL expanding its schedule from 16 to 17 games caused a conflict with the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations. The game went from Feb. 11, 2024, to Feb. 9, 2025.

It’s the 11th time New Orleans will have the game.

How did the Chiefs get here?

The Chiefs, somehow, never managed to score at least 30 points in the regular season, and yet Kansas City finished the regular season 15-2. The team received a bye in the playoffs and topped the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills on their way to the Super Bowl.

How did the Eagles get here?

Philadelphia had a season filled with ups and downs, and whatever issues teammates had with each other appeared to be put in the past. The Eagles captured their second division title in three years with a 14-3 record.

The Eagles took care of the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and the Commanders before the game.

What happened in Super Bowl LVII?

The Eagles had a 10-point lead at halftime of Super Bowl LVII, and it appeared the team was going to win their second championship in franchise history. But Kansas City outscored Philadelphia 24-11 in the second to win the game, 38-35.

Conversation around the game went from Harrison Butker’s 8-yard field goal for the win to the defensive holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry. The penalty helped set up the field goal and the win.

Patrick Mahomes had three touchdown passes, including one to Travis Kelce, in the win.

A Chiefs win will cement the team in the annals of NFL history. Should Kansas City top Philadelphia, the Chiefs will become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win the title three straight times.

Chiefs’ Justin Reid laments price of Super Bowl LIX tickets with family set to watch him

Kansas City Chiefs star Justin Reid is extra motivated to play in Super Bowl LIX.

Reid could be a part of history if the Chiefs win their third straight, as no other NFL team has won three consecutive Super Bowl titles since the NFL and AFL began playing each other in the 1960s. But this year’s game means a little more.

The star safety was born in Prairieville, Louisiana, about 65 miles northwest of New Orleans where the game will be held. He starred at Dutchtown High School before he committed to Stanford and played three years with the Cardinal.

He told the Kansas City Star he bought as many as 30 Super Bowl tickets for his friends and family to watch him play against the Philadelphia Eagles. The average Super Bowl ticket price has been around $7,900, according to StubHub.

“We’re excited to play, and we’re chasing glory,” he told the newspaper. “But we’ve got to win just for me to break even.”

The Kansas City Star noted that participating players receive two tickets and can purchase more. In Super Bowl LVII, players could buy up to 13 more tickets. After that, it’s back to the secondary market.

Reid and the Chiefs do receive a bonus if they win the game. They reportedly received $164,000 for their win last year.

The defensive back signed with the Chiefs before the 2022 season after four years with the Houston Texans. He signed a three-year, $31.5 million deal. He’s made $9.99 million this season.

This year, he had 87 tackles and two interceptions as Kansas City finished the regular season 15-2 and earned a first-round bye.

Eagles invite survivor of Bourbon Street attack back to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX: ‘Not letting evil win’

Former Princeton football player Ryan Quigley was seriously injured and lost his best friend and fellow teammate, Tiger Bech, in the violent terrorist attack in New Orleans on January 1. But Quigley will have the opportunity to write that tragic story when he returns next weekend as an honorary guest of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles invited Quigley and Bech’s sister to attend their divisional round game against the Los Angeles Rams last month, but this week they invited him to their training facility with the intention of surprising him with Super Bowl LIX tickets.

“We want to tell you the real reason we brought you here,” Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said in a video shared by the team. “It’s okay if you’re not feeling it, but we would love to have you down for the Super Bowl.”

This year’s Super Bowl will be hosted by the city of New Orleans. It will take place just a little over a month after the attack. Quigley will return to the city, something he vowed never to do again.

“New Year’s Eve was my first time in New Orleans ever, it was my first night, and I told myself it was going to be the last,” he told the team’s website. “But then I thought about it, because all year I’ve been telling Tiger if the Eagles make the Super Bowl this year, I promised him I was going to take him, and he’s from Louisiana.”

“I think, not letting evil win and evil will not prevail. I think we’re going to go back to New Orleans and leave on a positive note from that city, given that Tiger’s from there and that I promised him I was going bring him down to the Super Bowl. I’m looking forward to it for sure.”

Quigley, 26, suffered broken bones in his leg, back and face and underwent surgery and several days in the hospital to recover from a horrific terror attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people and injured dozens more.

CHIEFS POTENTIAL SUPER BOWL CELEBRATIONS WILL NOT FEATURE PUBLIC RALLY FOLLOWING 2024 MASS SHOOTING: REPORT

He hopes that his presence will allow him to share Bech’s story, something he plans to continue doing no, matter where he goes.

“Everything that the Eagles have done from being around the facilities today and the Divisional Round, to helping us share his story, there’s no words to describe it. We’re forever grateful to have the opportunity to tell the rest of the world how special Tiger was.”

“Everyone that I meet moving forward, I want to introduce Tiger as well, because of how special he was and how much character he had,” he added.

“He had no problem going to like anywhere in the world and fitting into different cultures. And he was just a super well-rounded individual with a ton of qualities that I’m going to make sure people know about for the rest of my life.”

Eagles speak out on Philadelphia plane crash just days before playing in Super Bowl LIX

The Philadelphia Eagles will have plenty more to play for when they take the field in Super Bowl LIX next Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After an air ambulance carrying six people crashed in Northern Philadelphia Friday night, causing a massive explosion that has killed an unconfirmed number of people, the Eagles released a statement expressing condolences for its impacted Philadelphia residents and the victims on board the flight.

“The Eagles organization was heartbroken to learn of the tragic loss of life earlier this evening as a result of the plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia,” the team said. “We extend our condolences to the victims and loved ones they leave behind. We are grateful to the first responders for their heroic actions at the scene.”

The plane was scheduled to fly from Philadelphia to Tijuana International Airport, with one technical stop in Springfield, Missouri for fuel, Air Ambulance spokesperson Shai Gold told Fox News Digital.

A senior Philadelphia fire official told Fox News the fires that were sparked by the crash are “now under control.”

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to react to the tragedy.

“So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged,” Trump wrote. “First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to follow. God Bless you all.”

Vice President JD Vance later took to X, calling the situation “very sad.”

“May God bless the victims and their families,” Vance wrote.

Eagles star Brandon Graham has chance to play in Super Bowl LIX after injury derailed season

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham may not be done just yet.

Graham, 36, has been out since Week 12 with a triceps injury and thought his season — and possibly his career — might be over.

The Eagles opened the practice window for the one-time Pro Bowler Thursday, giving him a chance to play in the Super Bowl.

Graham said in training camp the 2024 season would be his last when speaking to reporters.

With the Eagles reaching the Super Bowl, it has given Graham enough rest and recovery to open his practice window to give him a chance to play.

Graham has played the most games of any player in Eagles history with 206, 13 more than Jason Kelce, who is second in franchise history with 193.

Graham has spent his entire 15-year career with the Eagles after being drafted by the team with the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Michigan.

In 11 games this season, Graham had 20 combined tackles and 3½ sacks before getting hurt.

Graham has 76½ career sacks and was a key part of the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning season in 2017.

Bookmaker sets Travis Kelce proposal odds for Super Bowl LIX

The Super Bowl always brings some of the year’s craziest sports bets, and sometimes it has nothing to do with what happens on the field — at least during the 60 minutes of game time.

One of those bets involves a certain celebrity couple.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift were the talk of the town in Las Vegas last year, and some suggested he would propose to her on the field after the game.

Football fans will have a chance to bet on that during this year’s Super Bowl. FanDuel Sportsbook is providing the choice in Canada of whether Kelce will propose to Swift on the field after the Super Bowl’s conclusion, according to the New York Post.

The odds were set at +750 that Kelce will propose, with a $10 bet yielding $75 if it were to happen.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

On the flip side, Kelce not proposing to Swift has -1500 odds, which means there is a 93.75% chance it doesn’t happen at the Caesars Superdome Feb. 9.

Kelce and Swift created one of the biggest stories in the NFL during the 2023 season, and it only heightened when the Chiefs made it to their second consecutive Super Bowl, this time against the San Francisco 49ers in “Sin City.”

Swift attended the game despite being on international legs of her Eras Tour, and they were spotted sharing a celebratory kiss on the field after the overtime victory.

This time around, there have been rumors an engagement is imminent for the power couple, especially with Swift spotted wearing an infinity ring in New York City earlier this month. Speculation has run rampant online ever since.

Swift is expected to be at the game just as she was in Kansas City for the 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills. There will also be specuation about who will be a part of her star-studded entourage in the luxury suite. She was spotted with rapper Ice Spice, actress Blake Lively and actor Miles Teller, among others, in Las Vegas.

But the main question will be whether Kelce has an extra celebration in store if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl over the Philadelphia Eagles, which they did in the 2023 Super Bowl to begin their run at history.

Wife of Chiefs owner dismisses ‘referee favoritism’ ahead of Super Bowl LIX

Tavia Hunt, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, has entered the conversations regarding “referee favoritism” ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

NFL referees calling games in favor of the Chiefs has been a subject of debate among football fans and experts alike, but Hunt doesn’t want to hear any of it.

She posted on Instagram following her Chiefs’ 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills to secure three straight AFC Championships, and discussed her initial emotions about the team’s success.

“Overwhelmed,” she wrote. “That’s the word that comes to mind when we reflect on the lavish grace, favor, and faithfulness of God. I’ve said it before: I don’t think God cares about football, but He cares deeply about people.”

Hunt would go on to reflect on the struggles the team had over a decade ago, bringing up the 2012 season where they went 2-14. But it ultimately led to the decision to hire head coach Andy Reid, and the rest is history as he built a winning program.

Now, the Chiefs are on the cusp of NFL history, as they could become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls.

But Hunt added “hard work, belief, and purpose” are the reasons why – not a conspiracy that referees favor them during this playoff run.

“By God’s grace we’ve had success, but it’s not ‘black magic’ or referee favoritism (look at the stats on this) – it’s lots of hard work, belief, and purpose. Patrick Mahomes leads with humility and puts God first.”

Hunt has been very vocal about her faith, and mentioned others like Harrison Butker, Drue Tranquill, Chris Jones, Nick Bolton and more doing so as well.

Super Bowl LIX jersey colors announced for Chiefs-Eagles rematch

One of the first big reveals for this year’s Super Bowl has been dropped.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have announced their jersey choices for this year’s game in New Orleans.

Just as they did for their Super Bowl matchup two seasons ago, the Chiefs will wear their white uniforms, while the Eagles will wear “midnight green” Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome.

The city of Philadelphia announced the Eagles’ jersey selection, which will feature the Super Bowl LXI patch, on social media.

Since the Caesars Superdome is the home of the New Orleans Saints, the Eagles are considered the home team as the NFC representative. So, the Eagles got to choose which jersey they want to wear first.

The Eagles are hoping for a different result in their green threads in this Super Bowl against the Chiefs after losing the 2023 Super Bowl 38-35 in Arizona, which began the Chiefs’ historic run for a possible three-peat.

Harrison Butker kicked a game-winning field goal after an infamous holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, who turned Juju Smith-Schuster’s shoulder, impeding him from catching a deep ball. The flag allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock before Butker iced the victory.

Teams that wear white have won 16 of the last 20 Super Bowls and 64% of all Super Bowls, according to CBS Sports.

The San Francisco 49ers were one of those four teams that wore white and lost after Mecole Hardman scored an overtime touchdown to seal back-to-back Super Bowl wins for Kansas City last season.

One of the biggest storylines in this Super Bowl is the Chiefs’ bid at a three-peat.

The last team in position for a three-peat was the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots, who fell in 2005 before even reaching the AFC championship. They lost to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round.

Ex-NFL star Julian Edelman makes bold Tom Brady Super Bowl LIX prediction

Former New England Patriots star Julian Edelman will be covering the Super Bowl as an analyst for FOX Sports when Super Bowl LIX takes place on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Edelman will also get to work alongside, in some capacity, with his former teammate Tom Brady, as the legendary quarterback will be on the call with Kevin Burkhardt when the Kansas City Chiefs look to make history against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game will put the finishing touches on Brady’s first full season as a broadcaster. He will get to put everything he has learned over the course of the season into a finished product with millions of viewers set to tune in to the FOX broadcast and the Tubi livestream of the game.

Edelman appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” and had high expectations for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

“I guarantee he’s probably going to be very fired up,” Edelman said. “He’s probably going to be imagining himself in those situations.

“I think it’s going to be a great performance by him because he’s gonna get to show us inside looks to things only he knows Patrick Mahomes is going through.”

Brady has reportedly been barred from meeting with teams ahead of the game, which is usually reserved for broadcasters to gather knowledge to help them through their calls, because of his minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

The former Patriots wide receiver said he believed Brady would be able to persevere without those meetings.
