It takes a special dash of brilliance to come back big time when a team gets booed off the field at halftime by their fans at their opposition’s home soil. That was the reception QB Jalen Hurts‘ Philadelphia Eagles endured only to return with what coach Nick Sirianni dubbed as “the big one” in the end. For what was worth, after the OT touchdown, Hurts—who is reported to have been reeling through a bruised knee throughout the season—was able to win back many hearts that night. Now standing strong with 10 wins and one defeat, they are first-seed contenders in the NFC.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has always been big on praise for Hurts. On November 20 when they were defeated by the Eagles, the former’s QB admitted, “That’s a great football team (…) at the same time, we went up against one of the best, if not the best NFC team.” Continuing their winning momentum, the Eagles secured a thrilling victory against the Buffalo Bills, 37-34. Meanwhile, Mahomes made a prediction that turned out to be just plain accurate; the Kelce brothers were left stunned!
