Jalen Hurts reveals key to Eagles blowout Super Bowl 59 win vs. Chiefs

Jalen Hurts starred in Super Bowl 59, but he gave credit to the Eagles defense after their blowout victory over the Chiefs.

The Philadelphia Eagles demolished the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, ending their hopes of a history-making three-peat with a 40-22 victory. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts won Super Bowl MVP for leading his team to victory, but in his eyes, the game was won by his teammates on the other side of the ball.

Hurts was in control of this game from the get-go, throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for 72 yards and another score. While the offense was clicking, it didn’t matter because of how well the defense was playing, which led to Hurts heaping praise on Philadelphia’s unsung heroes.

“Defense wins championships. We saw how they played today. We saw the difference they made in the game. They gave us opportunities, gave us short fields. And we’re able to do what we do. We’ve always said it’s about being able to win in different ways. We’ve been dominant in the run game. We’ve been efficient in the passing game. We’ve just done what needed to be done,” Hurts said after the game.
