Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley Shares Special Handshake with Daughter, 6, at NFC Championship Game

Following the duo's cute moment, the Eagles clinched a 2025 Super Bowl appearance by handily winning the game, 55-23

Saquon Barkley always has time for his daughter — even right before a very important football game!

On Sunday, Jan. 26, just before the running back, 27, and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles faced off against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game and secured their spot in the 2025 Super Bowl, Barkley took a moment to greet his kids and girlfriend.

In an adorable video shared on the NFL on Fox X account, Barkley's daughter Jada, 6, son Saquon Jr., 2, and girlfriend Anna Congdon could be seen approaching him on the sidelines. The athlete asked Jada to "gimme a handshake," and the pair launched into a prepared sequence, complete with kisses on each cheek and a peace sign.

Barkley then bent down to hug Jada, who wore a white puffer coat with an Eagles sweatshirt underneath.

"Love you, daddy!" she can be heard telling the running back.

Although he didn't have quite as involved of a handshake for his son, Barkley put his face up to Saquon Jr.'s and also gave Congdon a kiss.

It would seem the father-daughter handshake was a lucky one, as the Eagles took home a staggering 55-23 win. According to ESPN, Barkley scored one touchdown after dashing 60 yards during the Eagles' first play.

In total, he ran for 118 yards including three of the Eagles' seven rushing touchdowns. ESPN Research reported that his run tied him for the most in a playoff game in NFL history.
