With the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl, there was a lot of Alabama influence on the roster. None more prevalent than one of the best connections out there between Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith. The two spent time together in Tuscaloosa and have been even better wearing Eagles uniforms.

Sunday’s game was wrapped up well before the game clock struck zero. Philadelphia players had an opportunity to soak in the moment from the sidelines for some time. Smith went up to Hurts at one point with tears in his eyes, embracing his quarterback.

The two discussed their journey along the way before Hurts told Smith to fully embrace the magnitude of what they had accomplished. Even more so since Smith is from the New Orleans area, having the opportunity to win the Super Bowl in his hometown.

A great moment between them, you can check the full thing out here via the NFL’s Instagram.

Hurts went on to be named Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception while completing 17 of 22 throws. He also ran for 72 yards and a score on 11 attempts. Smith at an incredible performance as well, catching four passes on five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown.

The best throw of the evening may have been one that looks quite familiar to Alabama fans too.

Smith was lined up on the left side of the formation, running a go route and connecting with Hurts for a 46-yard touchdown. Back in January 2018, Hurts watched a similar play from the sideline as Smith caught a ball from Tua Tagovailoa to win Alabama the national championship.

Both were massive moments that wound up being title-winning plays.

Luckily for the fans in Philadelphia, the Hurts-Smith duo does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Hurts is under contract through the 2029 season while the Eagles currently have Smith on the same timeline.

As mentioned in the video by Hurts, this is not the last time they plan to be on this stage. Winning multiple Super Bowls is the ultimate goal but in order to get there, winning one is required. Sunday was a breakthrough to get the ball rolling on the hopeful dynasty.

They are hoping there will be more on-field tears and embraces in the future. But for now, it’s time to celebrate what they accomplished this season.
