The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, and it's clear this is a big game for this team. After starring in his first season with the team, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is set to be one of the X-factors of this game, and ahead of the action, he received a heartwarming message from his daughter, Jada.

Barkley won Offensive Player of the Year at the NFL Honors on Thursday night after rushing for 2,005 yards and racking up 15 total touchdowns for Philly. While Barkley gets all the attention, he wanted to make sure that Philadelphia's star-studded offensive line got their due praise too.

“So much love, man, and I know you don't rush for 2000 yards by yards by accident, and you don't do it by yourself,” Barkley said to reporters on Wednesday. “That's why I love this sport. It's the ultimate team sport, and I have the best offensive line in the league and you can make an argument, one of the best offensive lines ever, and I'll argue with you all day because I firmly believe that."

While winning that award is nice, it's not what Barkley is looking to achieve. He wants to win a Super Bowl with the Eagles, and ahead of the big game, his daughter sent him a message that quickly went viral on social media.

"Hi Daddy, it's Jada. I'm so excited for your big game! I really, really, really hope you win, and I'm really thankful that you've been caring for your whole family, and I know you're going to win."

"But if you don't, that is OK. I'll always, always love you, and SJ would always love you, and Mommy would always love you, and your mother and father would always love you. Our whole family would always love you no matter what you do. I love you so much, Daddy, for taking care of me and SJ and Mommy. Big blessings. I love you, Daddy. Bye" Jada said in her message to Barkley.

“Our whole family would always love you no matter what you do.”

Jada is one of Barkley's two children with his fiancee, Anna Congdon, and he was seen celebrating with them on the field after the Eagles NFC Championship Game victory. Barkley will try to give his family another reason to celebrate by beating the Chiefs, but even if he doesn't win, it's clear they will all be there for him.
