The Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl 59 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs was built on more than just skill – it was fueled by raw confidence.
Behind-the-scenes footage released after their commanding 40-22 victory reveals just how deep that belief ran, particularly in Saquon Barkley’s powerful pre-game message to his teammates.
A newly released video, shared by NFL Insider Ari Meirov on X, captures Barkley’s electric speech during the team’s hotel meeting the night before the big game.
After a week of intensive film study, Barkley’s conviction only grew stronger.
“As I watched film throughout the whole week, my confidence has grown even more, and I hope you guys are feeling the same thing,” Barkley declared to his teammates.
“These guys can’t (expletive) with us. I don’t care how many times they’ve been here. I don’t care how many times they’ve won it. They haven’t seen a team like this.”

Barkley’s words proved prophetic. The Eagles didn’t rely on any single player to dismantle the Chiefs—they brought a complete team effort that left Patrick Mahomes and his squad searching for answers.
Philadelphia’s defense put on a masterclass, delivering one of their most dominant performances of the season.
Even defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, known for his measured approach, was taken aback by his unit’s overwhelming performance.
Though he entered the game confident, the level of dominance surprised even him.
His pre-game message to the defense matched Barkley’s intensity, albeit with more colorful language, driving home one clear point: Kansas City wasn’t prepared for what Philadelphia brought to the field.
The Eagles’ comprehensive victory proved that confidence, when backed by thorough preparation and elite execution, can turn bold predictions into championship reality.
