Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hinted that he’s expecting his best moment of the year to come at Super Bowl LVII.

Asked to name his best play of the season, Hurts said he won’t be able to say that until after the Super Bowl.

“My best play of the season? Season’s not over,” Hurts said.

Hurts is looking forward to the matchup with the Chiefs on Super Bowl Sunday.

“We have a heck of an opportunity in front of us, and we’ve worked really hard to be where we are now,” Hurts said. “To have the opportunity is something that you earn, so we’re going to work really hard to take advantage of it.”

Hurts, who was the favorite to win league MVP before a late-season shoulder injury, has had a lot of big plays this season. He may be saving his best for last.

  1. Hurts is so impressive when he speaks and handles questions. The Eagles seem to want it more than KC. Could be the deciding force in the game. Can’t wait to see how it plays out!

  2. I don’t think there is anyone in the league that works harder on his craft than Hurst. He is always looking at things to improve. He deserves to be here.

  3. This game is not going to be as close as some people think. Eagles by 2 scores, Mahomes pads his stats in garbage time. GO BIRDS!!!

  4. Jalen Hurts is still a very young QB who is going to get a whole lot better in the next couple years. I’m not saying this is the beginning of a dynasty, but I wouldn’t rule it out, either. This will be the 3rd super bowl for Mahomes in the last four years, so I’d say both of these organizations look very solid for years to come.

  5. In the age of the spoiled athlete, we are blessed in Philadelphia to have this young man lead our team.

  6. He’s done well despite being a “fraud QB” as some Niners and Cowboys fans claim. Poor souls.

  7. Tier One Quarterbacks (Perennial MVP Candidates):
    Patrick Mahomes
    Jalen Hurts
    Joe Burrow
    Josh Allen
    Justin Herbert

    Tier Two Quarterbacks (Can get you to the Super Bowl on a very good team):
    Tua Tagovailoa
    Lamar Jackson
    DeShaun Watson (yuck)
    Trevor Lawrence
    Jimmy Garoppolo
    Matthew Stafford
    Aaron Rogers
    Geno Smith
    Jared Goff
    Justin Fields

    Tier Three Quarterbacks (No shot of ever playing in the Super Bowl):
    Mac Jones
    Derek Carr
    Russell Wilson
    Kenny Pickett
    Ryan Tannehill
    Dak Prescott
    Daniel Jones
    Trey Lance/Brock Purdy (admittedly, the jury is out on these two)
    Kyler Murray
    Kirk Cousins

    If your team’s QB is not listed, they currently do not have a competent NFL starter on their roster

  8. There haven’t been a lot of recent blowouts in the Super Bowl. But I think this game will be one: I don’t think the Eagles have what it takes, and they will be flattened by the Chiefs. Won’t be close.

  9. I love this guy. The most elite players all have one thing in common: they are obsessed with getting better. I hope Jalen reaches that status one day, he certainly puts in the work.

  10. “Jalen Hurts hinted that he’s expecting his best moment of the year to come at Super Bowl LVII.”

    Hold the phone, spin doctor.

    He said he has one more game to play. Of course he will go out there, give it his all, and try to make big plays.

    But the words “hint” and “expect” are yours, not his. Don’t try to paint him as arrogant. He’s not.

  11. Eagles running game and pass rush will decide this game. Although I do think Hurts will shine and shut up some of the doubters that still somehow remain.

  12. This kid is all kinds of impressive. At the ripe old age of 24, he shows the poise, leadership and toughness that an team would be lucky to have.

    Pay the man.

  13. even if the Eagles win the Super Bowl, haters will still say we haven’t beaten anybody lol. GO BIRDS!!!

    Hurts got outplayed by Josh Johnson. Just sad.
    *

    Josh Johnson 7-13 74 yards, 2 rushes for 2 yards
    Jalen Hurts 15-25 121 yards, 11 rushes for 39 yards 1 TD

    What game were you watching man?

    Make him throw the ball down field. The interceptions will come.

    —————————

    Hahahahaha Hurts is ranked 5th in the NFL in yards per attempt and has thrown 6 INTs in 17 games which ranks second fewest in the league for 2022.

  16. The only thing that would have made this super bowl worse would have been if the 49ers got in there.

  17. Eagles are good but I wouldn’t count out the Chiefs just yet. Some teams just flop when they get to the big dance.

  18. I’ve seen every Eagles game for years and can tell you, if you don’t already know, this kid is unflappable and a winner. He’s going to do well in the Super Bowl and earn the respect of many who have only heard the negative narratives. I really hope he wins because no one deserves it more than he does.

    There was a blowout 2 years ago…
    NFL Passing yards leader QBs are 0-6 in the SB with 4 blowout losses.

  20. It’s easy to be the #1 defense when you don’t face any of the Top-5 QBs in the league all season and only one of the Top-10 (Dak).

  21. Queue the virtual felating that Romo’s gonna do to Pat next weekend as the stripes deliver a L to the Eagles.

  22. Slow your roll…one of these guys only has one good year under his belt, the other four do belong.

    Tier One Quarterbacks (Perennial MVP Candidates):
    Patrick Mahomes
    Jalen Hurts
    Joe Burrow
    Josh Allen

  23. All the Eagles need to do is to be 1 play better than the Texans were vs KC. Or just be as good as Indy was vs KC. Wow, how can they ever do that?
