The Washington Commanders celebrated a little too hard for Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles' liking weeks before the 2025 NFC Championship game.

It was a game that many will never forget. In Week 16, the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Washington Commanders. Jalen Hurts left the game early due to a concussion, and the Commanders made a remarkable comeback. They scored 22 points in the final quarter, leading to a stunning 36-33 defeat for the Eagles.

Saquon Barkley’s services apparently weren’t desired by every club in the NFC East. When recently discussing his free agency experience last March, when he left the Giants for the rival Eagles, the newly minted Super Bowl champion revealed the teams’ division rivals didn’t pursue him.
