The Philadelphia Eagles are headed to Super Bowl LVII after dismantling the San Francisco 49ers, 31-7. This is their 4th trip to the Super Bowl, and their first since 2017. Jalen Hurts didn't do his best passing, but the Eagles used their running game to tear the 49ers defense apart. The Eagles opponent will be former Philly coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs. It will be the first time in history to feature two brothers playing each other in the Super Bowl (Philadelphia's Jason Kelce and Kansas City's Travis Kelce).
Jalen Hurts said post-game, "My first year here, [people] probably didn't even want [me drafted] here. It was probably one of those things. But it always handles itself. It was a big surprise to many." He had an incredible season, and now he has a chance to prove himself as MVP-level.
The Eagles were up against the hottest team in the NFL, but they weren't scared. They scored 31 points on the Niners top-ranked defense, and knocked out their rookie star quarterback Brock Purdy. San Francisco was so highly praised, but Hurts, along with Miles Sanders, ran for 3 combined touchdowns. DeVonta Smith had an outstanding catch on 4th down during the Eagles' first drive.
Can the Eagles continue their success in the Super Bowl? We'll see.
