A few hours before the Super Bowl kick -off, Jalen Hurts shared something with a mainly empty superdome.
He did not speak directly to the crowd, exactly, but through the pair of enveloping jumbo-trunons like an interview with Rich Eisen from NFL Network broadcast.
The Super Bowl finalist two years ago explained how a photo of himself walks in a sea of red confetti of Kansas City had been the screen saver of his phone since.
“I don’t need a screen saver to remind me of anything, but that’s it,” he said, before adding: “Let’s just see if it changes.”
After defeating Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl Chiefs on Sunday evening, Hurts will have to find a new photo to adorn his home screen.
The Eagles quarter-Arrière was surgical in the 40-22 victory of his team on Sunday evening in New Orleans, totaling 293 yards and three touched-and erasing any doubt about a quarter-back winner of the Super Bowl and the harvest of a MVP price alongside the Lombardi Trophy and.

“The only thing I have always respected is (about injuries) is that he is a winner,” said Mahomes after the match. “And I know that it seems – some people take it as if it was not a good thing, but you have to find ways to win with your football team that you have around you.
“And that’s what I learned throughout my career, and that is what he entered the NFL and has done all his career, it is that if he needs to run the ball, He greeted it. If he needs to launch the ball, he will launch it. And if he needs to make a big game, he will make the big game.
“ This is therefore things that everyone does not have, and it is something that I have a lot of respect for Jalen, and I said after the first Super Bowl against which we played, I I said he would be back, and he was, and he got the best of me today. I’m sure, I’m not, I’m sure we will face it again in my career in a big game like this.
Hurts, whose curriculum vitae would be the desire for most quarters, has occupied a sort of strange space in the payment of the NFL since his team took place at the Super Bowl there are two seasons.
The list of Eagles has sometimes been used as an argument against its own capacities and impact.
The “tash-push” of his offense also fell against bases of opposite fans against him.
And compared to other title launchers such as Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, he has not always stacked.
But Sunday, with Saquon Barkley, mainly held in check by his own high standards, Hurts shone.
“He played incredible. He made incredible, ” said his teammate Aj Brown after the match. “… He was ready for the whole game, he was in control, he made checks and he launched dimes. He just gave us opportunities, and when we were a little covered, he took off – he used his legs.
These are injuries that led the team to rush, when it climbed for 70 yards. Hurts who found Devonta Smith above for a score of 46 yards and an effective advantage of 34-0.
And injured who dusted after a nervous nervous interception which briefly reduced a base of fans of the Eagles Rowdy.
The questions will continue to get around the injuries, but they will now be those he wanted to hear so badly.
Can he win Again? How will he get away as hunted rather than hunting? When will it come back to the biggest football match.
For the moment, as it was clearly indicated when he smoked on an post-match cigar, Hurts appreciates his new title of champion.
A new screen saver will surely follow.
