From Alabama benching to second-round draft pick, Jalen Hurts's football journey has been marked by overcoming skepticism. His Super Bowl LIX MVP performance, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a decisive victory, definitively answered his critics.

While the Eagles' defense dominated, Hurts delivered when needed, showcasing the composure that has defined his career. He threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, adding a rushing touchdown in the 40-22 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs, avenging their Super Bowl loss two years prior.

Despite past criticisms about his impact on the Eagles' offense, Hurts's performance against the Chiefs was near perfect, save for an early interception – his first since Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Following the victory, Hurts reflected on his journey, emphasizing the importance of learning from both positive and negative experiences. He credited his teammates for their contribution to the team's success. Hurts joins an elite group of quarterbacks, including John Elway, Bob Griese, and Len Dawson, who lost their first Super Bowl start but later won as a starter. This win marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl victory, their first being Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.
