The Philadelphia Eagles demonstrated throughout the NFL season that consistency is the key to success since their journey was not just about a strong offense but also a cohesive and resilient defense. After defeating the Commanders to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, Jalen Hurts shared some strong and impactful words, underscoring the importance of teamwork.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts showed both his skill and leadership after Sunday’s tough 28-23 win over the Washington Commanders. While his stats, 246 passing yards and 16 rushing yards, were strong, Hurts made it clear that numbers are not his main focus. For him, the most important thing is helping his team win.
“I don’t play the game for stats…I don’t play the game for numbers, any statistical approval from anyone else…I told you guys that winning, success, is defined by that particular individual, and it’s all relative to the person. And what I define it as is winning. So the number one goal is always to come out here and win,“ stated Jalen Hurts.
This mindset has made Hurts a key leader for the Eagles and an MVP contender over the past two seasons. It has also helped the team stay focused and work together. The Eagles achieve one of their season objectives: reach the Super Bowl.

However, as Saquon Barkley has previously stated, his objective is also to win it, not only arrive to the final game. Even while managing a knee injury, Hurts was able to guide the team to the Super Bowl showcasing his impressive talent and love for the team.
