Social media detectives think they’ve uncovered evidence that the Philadelphia Eagles are destined to win Super Bowl 59 in 20 days
Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles snuck past the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in the Divisional Round to punch their ticket to the NFC Championship Game, where they’ll welcome the NFC East rival Washington Commanders to Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles are halfway through their quest to winning it all for the second time in seven years, with only the Commanders standing in their way of a fourth NFC Championship banner in the 21st century.
Some observant social media detectives think that destiny is on the Philadelphia Eagles’ side for a fascinating reason: Super Bowl 59 will be played on Feb. 9, which also marks the birthdays of star running back Saquon Barkley and rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean:

Barkley is the key reason for the Eagles’ success this year, enjoying a career year in 2024 that saw him rush for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns. Through Philly’s first two playoff games, he has a ridiculous 324 rushing yards and two rushing scores.
Philadelphia Eagles Have Golden Opportunity To Redeem Themselves
The Eagles dropped a heartbreaker to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 two years ago, and then they inexplicably unraveled at the end of last year before falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round.
With Barkley and the league’s No. 1 defense, the Eagles have all the pieces to redeem themselves from the last two postseason disappointments.
