Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has ended a strange and unfortunate NFL streak after defeating the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, set for February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in Louisiana. This rematch follows Kansas City's narrow 38-35 win in Super Bowl 57,

The Eagles called run plays more frequently than any team in football — 55.7% of their snaps, per FTN Network — and that’s not strictly because their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is willing to tuck it and scramble. They also had the fewest dropbacks in the league. The rushes come by design, in other words.

Jalen Hurts signed a 5-year $255 million contract extension with the Eagles during the 2023 offseason. This move secured their franchise QB through the 2028 season after he led them to Super Bowl LVII.

Philly's stars combined for six rushing touchdowns and the Eagles forced four turnovers Sunday, ending Washington's dream run.

Moments after Philadelphia’s 55-23 victory over Washington in the NFC championship game, the Eagles quarterback kissed fiancée Bry Burrows, as captured on the Fox broadcast. The couple, who announced their engagement last year, then walked along the sideline at Lincoln Financial Field as the celebrations began.

The Eagles and Chiefs will face off for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three years on Feb. 9 in New Orleans. Kansas City aims to become the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.

The Philadelphia Eagles surpassed the Washington Commanders on Sunday with a 55-23 victory. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley spearheaded the win with three rushing touchdowns apiece. A.J. Brown collected a team-high 96 receiving yards and a touchdown.
