Nick Sirianni defended quarterback Jalen Hurts against claims of him being merely a ride-along during the Eagles' successful season. Sirianni underscored Hurts' selflessness and importance at the quarterback position, stating he embodies team success. After an initial 2-2 start, the Eagles adjusted their strategy to emphasize the running game, leading to a 12-1 finish. Saquon Barkley excelled with record rushing yards and touchdowns. Although Hurts had fewer attempts and yards than previous seasons, he thrived in crucial moments, particularly being named MVP in Super Bowl LIX for his efficient performance.
Sirianni emphasized Jalen Hurts' crucial role, stating, 'I mean, he plays the most important position in all of sports...his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win.'
Despite a lower passing output, Hurts was pivotal in key moments, especially in Super Bowl LIX where he completed 77% of his passes and earned MVP honors.
