Jalen Hurts Silences Doubters with Super Bowl MVP Performance
Jalen Hurts has done it. Again.
If there was ever any doubt about whether he belongs in the conversation among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, Super Bowl LIX just erased it. The Philadelphia Eagles’ superstar quarterback delivered a masterclass performance, leading his team to a dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and securing his first Super Bowl MVP award. And honestly, at this point, we need to stop debating where he stands among the league’s best—because he’s already there.
This wasn’t just another big game for Hurts. This was a statement. A confirmation. A moment that cemented his legacy. With 221 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and a rushing score, he joined an exclusive club, becoming only the second quarterback besides Tom Brady to have multiple Super Bowls with at least three total scores and a 70% completion rate. That’s not just good—that’s historic.

But let’s rewind for a second. When the Eagles fell short in Super Bowl LVII two years ago, many believed they’d be back. Easier said than done, right? The road to redemption is brutal. Just ask any team that has lost on the game’s biggest stage and tried to claw their way back. The Eagles had their struggles—especially in the 2023 season when they completely collapsed down the stretch. But on Sunday, they left no doubt. The Chiefs, a team that has defined dominance over the last five years, simply had no answer for Philadelphia. And at the heart of it all was Jalen Hurts.
Yet, somehow, some still hesitate to call him elite. Why? Because he doesn’t have Patrick Mahomes’ arm talent? Because he isn’t as flashy as Lamar Jackson? Because he doesn’t put up the video-game numbers of Josh Allen? Look, talent is great. Stats are fun. But at the end of the day, winning is what matters. And Hurts wins. Period.
Since taking over as the Eagles' full-time starter in 2021, Hurts has led Philadelphia to a staggering 43-13 record, including playoffs. He’s been to two Super Bowls. He’s won one. And in both, he showed up when it mattered most. His performance in Super Bowl LVII was legendary, even in a loss. And now, he’s delivered a championship, proving once and for all that he’s built for the biggest moments.
And let’s not pretend he’s just riding the coattails of a stacked roster. Yes, he has an elite supporting cast. So did Matthew Stafford with the Rams in 2021. So did Mahomes in 2019. Great quarterbacks elevate their teams when it matters, and Hurts has done that time and time again.
If you’re still questioning whether Hurts belongs among the NFL’s elite, you might need to redefine your criteria. Because at this point, the conversation isn’t about whether he’s great—it’s about how much greater he can still become.
