Jalen Hurts earned his first and the Philadelphia Eagles’ fourth Super Bowl title, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles’ victory marked a historic milestone as they became the first team to win two consecutive championships under coach Nick Sirianni and owner Jeffrey Lurie.
Former quarterback Tom Brady led seven teams to Super Bowl victories but couldn’t replicate this achievement despite his record-breaking six titles. Hurts accomplished something that Brady could not, winning the second round of a head-to-head QB matchup after losing the first in Super Bowl LVII two years ago.
Hurts’ impressive performance earned him numerous accolades, including the Pete Rozelle Trophy for Most Valuable Player Award. The quarterback completed 17-of-22 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while also running for 72 yards and a touchdown. His performance marked the third time in NFL history that a player had achieved a remarkable feat: at least 221 passing yards, two touchdown passes, 72 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, and a completion rate of 77 percent.
The Eagles’ victory was attributed to their strong defense, which coach Sirianni praised as playing “their ass off” during the game. Hurts credited his team’s hard work and determination for their success, saying that it all goes back to the players’ efforts and teamwork. The quarterback’s humility and gratitude were evident in his praise of God, stating that He was greater than any achievement.
Hurts set a new Super Bowl record with 221 passing yards, surpassing his previous mark of 70 yards in Super Bowl LVII. His performance marked another milestone for the Eagles’ franchise, cementing their place in NFL history.
