Eagles Lead Chiefs 17-0 in Emotional Super Bowl Featuring Barkley and DeJean
The Eagles are currently leading 17-0 against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, making it an emotionally charged game for both Saquon Barkley and Cooper DeJean.
Barkley, a veteran running back, and DeJean, a rookie cornerback, are both vying for their first Super Bowl championship. In a remarkable coincidence, both players share the same birthday, February 9.
DeJean, who just turned 22, was born on February 9, 2003, while Barkley, now 28, was born in 1997.
Adding to the excitement, DeJean celebrated his birthday with a spectacular 38-yard interception return from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a touchdown, marking a milestone in NFL history.
Throughout this season, DeJean has not allowed a touchdown in coverage, further solidifying his status as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
