Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Named Super Bowl LIX MVP

While breaking down the huddle after warmups ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Jalen Hurts reminded the Eagles of their dominance all season long.

“We did this [expletive] all year,” Hurts said. “Don’t stop now.”

They didn’t. The Eagles pulled off a 40-22 beatdown of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Superdome, usurping the crown from the back-to-back Lombardi Trophy victors.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Hurts dazzled through the air and on the ground and was voted Super Bowl MVP. He went 17-of-22 for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception for a 119.7 passer rating. Hurts also did record-setting damage on the ground. He finished the night with 72 rushing yards on 11 carries, breaking his own record for rushing yards in a Super Bowl by a quarterback (70 in Super Bowl LVII).

The Chiefs had answers to stop Saquon Barkley, limiting him to 57 yards on 25 carries, his second lowest single-game total of the season. But it didn’t matter. Not only did the Eagles’ passing game step up, but also the defense kept Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense at bay.

Kansas City had just 225 yards of net offense, which would have been their third-lowest output of the season, before a garbage-time 50-yard touchdown reception by rookie receiver Xavier Worthy.
