Jalen Hurts just shut everyone up. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback didn’t just win his first Super Bowl—he crushed Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. After losing to the Chiefs two years ago in Super Bowl LVII, Hurts came back with one goal: take what’s his. And he did.

It wasn’t luck. It wasn’t a fluke. Hurts outplayed Mahomes on every level—throwing for 221 yards, scoring two passing touchdowns, and adding 72 rushing yards with a rushing touchdown. The man was everywhere. And now, he’s only the second Eagle ever to win Super Bowl MVP, next to Nick Foles.

Other fanbases just can't accept that Jalen Hurts is the only QB currently drafted after Mahomes that has won the Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes himself showed respect:

“The one thing that I’ve always respected about Jalen is that he’s a winner,” Mahomes said postgame. “He’s come into the NFL and done (that) his entire career. If he needs to run the ball, he’ll run it, if he needs to throw the ball, he’ll throw it. If he needs to make a big play, he’ll make a big play. That’s stuff that not everybody has.”

Jalen Hurts is now the only quarterback drafted after Patrick Mahomes to win a Super Bowl, and his list of records keeps growing

Let’s get into it. Hurts didn’t just beat Mahomes. He made history doing it:

First quarterback drafted after Patrick Mahomes (2017) to win a Super Bowl: Of the 89 quarterbacks drafted since 2017, only Hurts has done it.
First quarterback to win a Super Bowl rematch: Hurts reversed his loss from Super Bowl LVII, making him the only QB to win a Super Bowl rematch after losing the first time.
Set a new Super Bowl rushing record for quarterbacks: His 72 rushing yards broke his own record of 70 from Super Bowl LVII.
Seventh all-time for total touchdowns in back-to-back Super Bowl starts: Seven total touchdowns across two appearances.
Third quarterback ever to win a college national title and a Super Bowl: He joins Joe Namath and Joe Montana.
Fourth quarterback to win a Super Bowl after losing his first: Len Dawson, Bob Griese, and John Elway are the only others.
Most postseason rushing touchdowns by a QB ever (10): He passed Steve Young’s record of eight, hitting 10 in just nine playoff games.

Jalen Hurts’ five-year NFL career is already stacked with records—and he’s done it faster than anyone

In just five seasons, Jalen Hurts has built a career that most quarterbacks dream of. Facts only:

14,525 passing yards and 3,051 rushing yards in 66 starts: No other QB in history reached 14,500 passing and 2,800 rushing yards that quickly.
Two games with 300+ passing yards and three rushing touchdowns: Hurts has done it twice—the only QB to do so.
52 rushing touchdowns since 2021—more than anyone in the NFL: Yes, more than running backs.
Four straight seasons with 10 or more rushing touchdowns as a QB: Only Cam Newton and Josh Allen have multiple. Hurts has four.
Tied for most Super Bowl rushing touchdowns by a QB (4): He’s matched John Elway’s record.

Jalen Hurts just did what 88 other quarterbacks drafted after Patrick Mahomes couldn’t: win a Super Bowl. And he did it by beating Mahomes himself.

This wasn’t just a win. It was a shift. Hurts is no longer chasing greatness—he’s in it. And if you think this is the end of the story, you’re not paying attention.

This is only the beginning.
