Eagles' Nick Sirianni blasts 'bulls---' narratives around Super Bowl champ Jalen Hurts
Nick Wright reacts to Patrick Mahomes calling the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 2 Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles a "great challenge" and explains what this early-season matchup means for the defending champs.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni snapped back at critics who have claimed that quarterback Jalen Hurts was carried to a Super Bowl title during the 2024 season.
Sirianni on Monday didn’t want to hear any of it and slammed the "bulls---" narratives around Hurts that he was just a game-managing quarterback who was helped tremendously due to the addition of a superstar running back and an elite offensive line.

"I mean, he plays the most important position in all sports," Sirianni said, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. "And it's the most ultimate team game there is. And what I admire about him is his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win.
"I mean, obviously, anybody who plays quarterback is going to want to throw it 50 times a game. But he'll do anything. If he has to throw 50 times a game, he's ready to do that. If he has to hand it off 50 times a game, he's ready to do that."
The Eagles were 14-3 in the regular season before going on a playoff run that led to a brutal beatdown of the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Meanwhile, the offense was seventh in points scored and eighth in yards gained in the NFL. Hurts had 2,903 passing yards and 18 passing touchdowns. It also helped to have Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley in the backfield.
