Nick Sirianni lashes out at Jalen Hurts haters after Eagles reach Super Bowl LIX

Playing quarterback in the NFL is not for the faint of heart. If your team isn’t succeeding, the blame is likely to fall squarely on your shoulders. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts can take a significant weight off his now.

The Eagles knocked off the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday afternoon in dominant fashion, advancing to Super Bowl LIX.

And there was one man who was ready to call out some of the Jalen Hurts haters after the game.

“First and foremost everything good in our life comes from God, so thank God for that,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said on the post-game stage, before turning to his quarterback. “How about our quarterback? How about our quarterback?!? He’s a stud. I knew he was going to play that way. I knew it. Don’t doubt him. All he does is win.”

Jalen Hurts was razor sharp in the 55-23 win, which saw the Eagles rush for a playoff record seven touchdowns in the game. Hurts had three of those, rushing 10 times for 16 yards and the three scores.

He also went 20-of-28 passing for 246 yards and a touchdown, without throwing an interception.

It was a remarkable performance. He commented on it after the game.

“Well we just took it a play at a time,” Hurts said. “I can’t do any of those things without the guys around me, the preparation we put in. What a run it’s been. We’ve got to finish it.”

The other key factor in the game for the Eagles was running back Saquon Barkley. He made life easy on Jalen Hurts by rushing 15 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns.

The well-rounded effort sent Philadelphia to the Super Bowl, set to play the winner of Kansas City and Buffalo in New Orleans in two weeks.
