Jalen Hurts bucked decades of history just by getting back to the Super Bowl after losing his first trip there as a starting quarterback.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had a big day through the air in Philadelphia's win over the Washington Commanders to advance to Super Bowl LIX. Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said on Tuesday he didn't make much of Hurts' comments about his usage on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts will start against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game despite a knee injury. Hurts, who has shown improvement, anticipates wearing a knee brace to provide extra support.
That's because Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown. He hit A.J. Brown on a beautifully thrown deep ball on 4th-and-5 from the Eagles' 45-yard line for 31 yards midway through the second quarter to the Commanders' 14-yard line.
The Eagles advanced to Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders by beating the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in the Divisional Round. The Rams sacked Hurts seven times, and the former Alabama QB is dealing with an undescribed injury to his left knee sustained in that contest.
The quarterback threw for 248 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders.
After landing a wild assertion after the Eagles NFC Championship win, Nick Sirianni finally addressed Jalen Hurts' "straitjacket" comments.
Hurts largely succeeded against the blitz on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. But the Los Angeles Rams, who sacked Hurts seven times in Philadelphia’s 28-22 win in the divisional round, gave the Eagles quarterback considerable trouble. Oftentimes it appeared his checkdown options were ill-placed or covered up entirely.
