NEW ORLEANS — And there it was, in all its majesty and all its beauty, the Lombardi Trophy, staring Saquon Barkley in the face. 

“She looked prettier in person, I’ll tell you that,” Barkley said after Eagles 40, Chiefs 22. “It’s better in person than it is in Madden playing as a kid. It’s everything you dream of. 

“I’m just happy to be able to hold it, give it a kiss, be world champs.” 

He held his 6-year-old daughter Jada in his right arm on his lap and his 2-year-old son Saquon Jr. — who kept asking, “Where’s mommy?” — in his left hand on Podium 4 in the Superdome interview room.
