"I know I've been through a lot personally, but I don't want to steer away from the direction of how good this team has been at playing together, being together, and challenging one another. When we experience some painful times and some tough times, we always found a way to overcome. "I don't really know how to feel, to be honest," he said. Hurts quickly exchanged his NFC champions T-shirt for a purple suit and sunglasses as the on-field celebration spilled into the locker room. "Second year as a full-year starter, and he's taking us to the Super Bowl? "It was a big surprise to many.

The various players getting touches has made the Eagles difficult to beat all season. The Eagles aren't deviating from their game for anyone, whether it be the Giants or the 49ers. It was that dominance that led them to the Super Bowl. Hurts in particular was praised for his aggressive rushing style all year, and that was on display even when the Eagles took a commanding win. The Eagles broke an NFL record held by the Frankford Yellow Jackets since 1924, picking up their 39th rushing touchdown of the season behind four TDs against the 49ers in the NFC championship game. Whether it was the aptly-named Kenneth Gainwell, Miles Sanders, or Jalen Hurts, no matter who has touched the ball for the Eagles this year, they've had a positive impact.

[Super Bowl](/nfl/superbowl/) win two weeks from now in Arizona. [Jalen Hurts](/nfl/players/2240246/jalen-hurts/) also made history on Sunday by scoring his 15th rushing touchdown to set the new single-season record for a quarterback. Using a similar philosophy to the one Lombardi used back then, Nick Sirianni's [Eagles](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/PHI/philadelphia-eagles/) have had similar success on the ground while making their own championship run. Sanders, however, finished second behind Hurts for the team lead with 11 touchdown runs during the regular season. He stretched the Eagles' lead to 28-7 on a 1-yard scoring plunge late in the third quarter. Like the '62 Packers, the Eagles' rely on several players to make their running game tick.

Jalen Hurts showcases elite running ability as Eagles clinch spot in ... (Sporting News)

Hurts, dinged shoulder and all, was a regular presence in the Philadelphia run game. He gave the 49ers fits.

He rocketed through the line to punch it in from a yard away for his 15th rushing touchdown of the year (regular season and playoffs). "For us to be the explosive offense that we want to be, Jalen is a very good passer, and he's shown that he's become a better passer each game that he plays. Hurts gashed San Francisco's front seven as the third quarter came to an end, nabbing runs of 7, 12 and 14 yards. And eventually, even the stout Gold Rush began to crack. But he was a nuisance on the ground. And that side of his game has thoroughly mystified opposing defenses throughout his three-year NFL career.

Jalen Hurts' breakout season reached new heights after a 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday and it is now set to culminate on ...

"I know I've been through a lot personally, but I want to steer it [to] the direction of how good this team has been playing together, being together, challenging one another, when we experience painful times and some tough times, we always found a way to overcome," Hurts said. It was an ongoing reminder of the sacrifice Hurts has made in the latter part of the Eagles' season, returning from his two-game absence to win the NFC East title and the No. "I think sometimes when you get to this point of the season, when things kind of get tight, you want to make the big plays, but all of this comes down to the details," he said. Hurts, who is still dealing with an injured shoulder, never wavered when approached by an oncoming defender over the course of the game, and there were several instances when the Eagles QB was slow to get up after a big hit. With the one-handed grab in question upon replay, the Eagles hurried to the line of scrimmage to get a play off in time before San Francisco had a chance to throw the red flag. "They have a really good coach – I've always talked about that – he does a really good job with them, especially with those guys up front and the linebacking corps kinda rallying to the ball.

And then Hurts proved himself all over again in the NFL. Or perhaps he thought about everything he had overcome, getting benched in the national championship game while at Alabama, one year after winning it as a true freshman. "All I know is, and this is a fact, he’s about to get PAAAAIIIIIDDDDD!!" And at some point, Hurts will become among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, possibly for an average annual salary approaching $50 million per season. "He is a great young leader. The next play, Hurts ran the ball again down the right sideline. All I know is that man is probably one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen in my life." And he did it with his no-doubt painful runs, and while standing in the pocket absorbing hits as he completed passes to receivers in tight coverage. It was his longest run to that point. Hurts was playing his third straight game on a sprained shoulder, which he initially suffered Dec. He attacked the 49ers with his gutsy fourth-down pass on the opening drive that DeVonta Smith hauled in, somehow, with one hand for a 29-yard gain down to San Francisco’s 6-yard line, setting up the first touchdown. So in the third quarter, Hurts took off down the left side, the Eagles leading by 21-7.

We go over the lines on DraftKings Sportsbook and pick our favorite Jalen Hurts prop bets to consider for the 2023 NFC Championship Game vs. 49ers.

The 49ers have only allowed one quarterback to rush for more than that total and that was Marcus Mariota back in Week 6. Hurts went over this total in three of his last five games. This should be a close game, so they won’t be running the clock out the whole fourth quarter as they did against the Quarterback Jalen Hurts will lead the way for the Eagles.

With the Chiefs and Eagles' victories on conference championship weekend, the Super Bowl will have its first-ever meeting between two Black quarterbacks.

If you want to fully understand the significance of that, you should definitely read— Patrick Allen (@RPatrickAllen) Mahomes has completed 67.1 percent of his passes for 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns to 12 interceptions in the regular season, adding 358 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Both the Chiefs and Eagles enter Super Bowl 57 on Feb. It's appropriate that both Mahomes and Hurts are NFL MVP candidates who have been driving forces for their teams' success this season.

Super Bowl 57 MVP Odds: Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes listed as ... (Sporting News)

Now that Super Bowl 57 featuring the Eagles (-2) and Chiefs is set, sportsbooks have released odds on which player will take home the game's MVP honors.

With Tee Higgins torching the Chiefs' defense in the AFC Championship as the Bengals' 1B wideout (six receptions, 83 yards, TD), who's to say Smith can't do the same? Williams' inability to win the award after that type of performance leads you to believe Mahomes will once again be crowned MVP should KC emerge victorious. Additionally, the past six QBs to win Super Bowl MVP have thrown for at least two TDs and 200 yards, something that's well within Hurts' reach. Coinciding with the Eagles (-2) now sitting as the favorites, it's no surprise to see Hurts listed atop the Super Bowl MVP odds board. Sure, Mahomes and Hurts were neck and neck in the season-long MVP race most of the season, but a monumental showing from a non-QB could be sufficient enough to give them MVP honors. Now that Super Bowl 57 featuring the Eagles (-2) and Chiefs is set, sportsbooks have released odds on which player will take home the game's MVP honors.

Super Bowl 2023 MVP odds: Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and ... (The Athletic)

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce are the early three favorites, with Hurts leading the way.

He is still the engine that drives the Eagles offense. Besides being the two Super Bowl MVP favorites, Hurts and Mahomes are both finalists for this year’s league MVP award. If any defensive player wins it this year, Reddick is a good bet to be the player to do it. Historically, the Super Bowl MVP award tends to go to an offensive player, usually a quarterback. With the Super Bowl matchup set between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, it is time to start looking ahead to some MVP odds. Philadelphia’s Hassan Reddick is the defensive player with the best odds.

Hurts, 24, proved that he wasn't a robot after the Eagles' 31-7 win over the 49ers to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. He led the crowd in the Eagles fight ...

He was a legitimate MVP candidate and is one of the finalists for the highest regular season individual award in the league. The Eagles drafted Hurts in the second round in 2020 to be the backup behind their franchise quarterback Carson Wentz. And the Eagles ended up with the right guy as their franchise quarterback. The Eagles are officially the home team in Super Bowl LVII and their fans are probably going to make it feel like that too. The Eagles are now 16-1 with Hurts as their quarterback this season. “We put a lot of work in to have this opportunity and to be here it’s a moment we want to enjoy as a team,” Hurts said. He is a terrific young quarterback,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “We’re reflecting on everything we’ve overcome to have this opportunity in front of us and we want to take advantage of it. As all that was going on, Hurts sat behind a microphone in the bowels of Lincoln Financial Field, having completely wiped the smile from his face. Hurts, 24, proved that he wasn’t a robot after the Eagles’ 31-7 win over the 49ers to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
