It wasn’t until Sunday when Hurts finally got that chance to throw a championship-sealing pass of his own to Smith, connecting with the wide receiver on a 46-yard touchdown to effectively put the game out of reach for the Chiefs. It was truly a full-circle moment, and mics picked up the coolest sideline exchange between the longtime teammates.

Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith were able to take in the moment as the clock wound down on the Philadelphia Eagles win at Super Bowl LIX. Hurts and Smith met on the sideline late in the game and had a heartfelt interaction.
