Philadelphia also denied Kansas City an unprecedented third straight title.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-credits-aj-brown-quiet-season-opener">Jalen Hurts was almost flawless</a> in the contest, completing 17 of 22 attempts for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a score and set the Super Bowl record for most rushing yards by a quarterback with 72. He was aptly named Super Bowl MVP.</p><p>The Chiefs will be eager to avenge their defeat in their quest to reclaim the throne. But while fans are excited for the Super Bowl rematch, Hurts <a href="https://x.com/ZBerm/status/1965944534237642803" rel="noopener">wants to stay even-keeled</a> and not get too hyper-focused.</p><p>“It’s just another opportunity for us. That’s how I’m approaching it. We’ve got a long (way to go), we can learn from this past week. We know we’re playing a really good team. It’s a new team, and we’re a new team,” said the Eagles quarterback, as quoted by The Athletic’s Zach Berman.</p><p>As the 27-year-old Hurts noted, Philadelphia welcomed new faces this season, including AJ Dillon, Jihaad Campbell, Azeez Ojulari, Joshua Uche, and Adoree’ Jackson, among others.</p><p>Kansas City, meanwhile, added Gardner Minshew, Elijah Mitchell, Jaylon Moore, Josh Simmons, and Omarr Norman‑Lott, to name a few.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagle-news-fans-react-nolan-smith-penalty-behavior-cowboys">The Eagles escaped the Dallas Cowboys</a>, 24-20, in Week 1. Hurts went 19-of-23 for 152 yards and rushed for two touchdowns on 14 carries. His performance duly compensated for the poor performances of AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, who only combined for 24 yards.</p><p>The Chiefs, on the other hand, were upset by the Los Angeles Chargers, 27-21, in their opener in Sao Paulo, Brazil.</p><p>With Hurts playing at a high level since last season’s Super Bowl, it won’t be a surprise if he leads Philadelphia to another convincing win over Kansas City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the same can’t be said about some of the backups. Leading up to kick off, the team announced which players are inactive for the first game of the season.</p><p>Backup quarterback Tanner McKee was listed as <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1963736465596154152" rel="noopener">one of the inactive players</a> due to dealing with a thumb injury. Seven total players, including McKee, are on the inactive list to begin the Eagles’ season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Eagles inactives tonight: <a href="https://t.co/BGgGqxVAYT">pic.twitter.com/BGgGqxVAYT</a></p><p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1963736465596154152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>With McKee ruled out, Sam Howell will step in as Jalen Hurts’ immediate backup. The Eagles traded a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for Howell in late August. It was a move that improved the depth of the quarterback position. But ideally, the only time we see Howell hit the field is if Philadelphia is up big in games.</p><p>Howell, who is 24 years old, is entering the fourth season of his career. He’s been a backup for most of his career, but did play a starting role for the Washington Commanders in the 2023-24 season.</p><p>The former fifth-round pick has played in 20 games in his career, starting in 18 of them. So far throughout his career, Sam Howell has accumulated 4,139 passing yards and 22 touchdowns while owning a 62.6% completion percentage. Turnovers have been an issue for him, though, as Howell has thrown 23 interceptions in his first three years in the league.</p><p>Thursday’s contest will be Howell’s career debut <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/phillies-news-bryce-harper-supports-eagles-with-awesome-cleats">with the Eagles</a>. Jalen Hurts is starting the game and should remain in that position after emerging as the club’s franchise quarterback. As for Tanner McKee, there is a chance he reclaimed the backup role once his thumb injury heals. Until then, Howell will likely be the backup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite coming off of a championship, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-saquon-barkley-reveals-nick-siriannis-super-bowl-winning-message-before-week-1">Eagles appear ready to attack the season</a>. One of the driving forces is the fact that Jalen Hurts is still ranked below players like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Former Philadelphia star Ron Jaworski believes he is the top quarterback.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-mvp-honors-dominant-super-bowl-59-victory">Hurts had an excellent season and capped it off by winning Super Bowl MVP</a>. Despite all of that success, the quarterback sits behind Allen, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and sometimes Joe Burrow. However, Hurts’ resume is better than all but one of them. Last season, he made his second career Super Bowl and dominated Mahomes in that game.</p><p>Jaworski came to Hurts’ defense on the Dan Patrick Show. According to him, Hurts <a href="https://youtu.be/7GeS_9NGxsI?t=19" rel="noopener">should be the top-ranked quarterback</a> in the league because he won the Super Bowl. Even though that is a shaky argument at best in most seasons, the former Eagle defended his opinion passionately.</p><p>“Right now he’s the best quarterback in the National Football League because he has that Vince Lombardi trophy in his hand,” Jaworski said. “He’s a world champion quarterback, he’s a Super Bowl MVP and I don’t know how we come up with all these quarterback rankings and ratings and who is number one and who is number thirty two, and who’s moving up and who is moving down. I played 17 years in the league and the only thing I was concerned about was can we win the football game. Not numbers, not stats, can we win the football game. You look at Jalen Hurts’ record, the only thing this young man cares about is winning.”</p><p>Hurts has a chance to prove his doubters wrong starting on Thursday against the Cowboys. He has a chance to guide the Eagles to another title. If he does, his case for being the NFL’s top QB becomes harder to argue against.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And I love that about him.”</p><p>The Eagles are looking to accomplish a rare repeat, and although he still has some skeptics in the national media, Hurts has clearly proven that he is good enough to be the starting quarterback on a championship level team.</p><p>If he comes into this year even more brazen and takes on a larger leadership role for his teammates, his ceiling as a player could increase even higher than it already is.</p><p>The Cowboys and Eagles are set to get things underway on Thursday evening at 8:20 PM ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On the toe, Hurts wrote a note to Reese that read:</p><p><i>To M. Reese</i></p><p><i>You saw it when no one else could …</i></p><p><i>Love always.</i></p><p>“Some people see it and some people don’t — simple as that,” Hurts told The Athletic. “And he’s one that saw it, saw it before I ever stepped on the field.

And to others? Well, Hurts is a game manager on a “Super Team,” with many, if not most, of the best quarterbacks in the NFL capable of producing similar results with the same supporting cast.</p><p>After being named the 19th best player in the NFL by his peers according to the NFL Top 100 list, Kay Adams asked his former Eagles teammate, Ndamukong Suh, if the league is too low on Hurts, to which she received a <a href="https://x.com/SportsRadioWIP/status/1960797559061938448" rel="noopener">very unsurprising answer</a>.</p><p>“I would be behooved to say I think Jalen should be a little bit higher. There’s something that I’m seeing a lot of people don’t understand his success. And I know they give him a lot of grief for being more of a running quarterback and not having the stats from a passing perspective,” Suh noted.</p><p>“But you got to also be very, very keen on they’re sometimes blowing teams out, and you forget who his running mate is in Saquon, like why would you not run the ball and run the clock out and get the game over and go get home and get healthy and get ready for the next game? So you got to understand the full scheme of what they’re trying to do and create over there in Philly. And I got to be a part of that obviously without Saquon, but we had great running backs when he wasn’t there, and so ultimately I think Jalen should be a lot higher.”</p><p>Will Hurts ever get the respect he deserves? That depends on how much the Eagles are willing to change their winning strategy in order to fuel his individual production. But even if the Eagles continue to win games as a run-first team, they will still be winning games, which, as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-lebron-james-gets-real-eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-winning-mindset" rel="noopener">Hurts has noted multiple time</a>s, is all that really matters to him.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ndamukong Suh on the NFL Top 100 rankings: “I think Jalen should be a little bit higher.” 💯</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/3pIARq1fcw">pic.twitter.com/3pIARq1fcw</a></p><p>— SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsRadioWIP/status/1960797559061938448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And yet, in the end, Nick Sirianni’s squad is still the reigning and defending Super Bowl Champions.</p><p>Discussing what it’s like to take the field at practice as a member of a team with such high expectations, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-young-fans-gesture">Eagles franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts</a> noted that, in his opinion, the point of camp is to find an identity, and while the Eagles may not have reestablished themselves, they do know <a href="https://x.com/ZBerm/status/1958291948948607328" rel="noopener">what they are capable of</a>, which is key for a winning organization.</p><p>“For context of what training camp serves, you want to find an identity,” Hurts declared via The Athletic’s Zach Berman. “I’m not saying we’re leaving here with an identity — but we know what we’re capable of and we know what we need to work on. When you go into training camp, you’re trying new things and trying to expand your repertoire. You take the highs with the lows knowing that you kind of know what direction you want to be in.”</p><p>Goodness, Philosopher Hurts is holding court at the NovaCare Center, an incredible development for a Super Bowl MVP quarterback who now knows what it means to succeed at the game’s highest level.</p><p>In 2024, the Eagles won games by committing to a near dogmatic degree to the run game, with Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and beyond, sacrificing their individual stats in the name of one of the best rushing seasons in NFL history by Saquon Barkley. Will the Eagles be a dominant, run-first team in 2025 once more? While only time will tell, it’s safe to say they have the right man calling the shots under center to get it done.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I heard them over there. It definitely can be a lot at times, but being able to enjoy the moment — it’s all about the youth and giving them the sense of hope. I guess the ‘role model’ tag is what it is, but it’s a sense of responsibility.”</p><p>For the Super Bowl LIX MVP, the moment wasn’t about optics—it was about connection. Hurts has made a habit of these types of interactions, frequently supporting kids through charity efforts and hospital visits. His actions during training camp reflected that same philosophy.</p><p>The 2025 NFL preseason has also marked a pivotal stretch for the Eagles as they prepare to defend their Super Bowl title. With Kevin Patullo stepping into the role of offensive coordinator following Kellen Moore’s departure to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, the offense is undergoing subtle but important shifts. Patullo, who has been with the team since 2021 and previously served as passing game coordinator and associate head coach, brings continuity and familiarity to the unit.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-philly-agree-contract-extension-nick-sirianni-super-bowl-win">With Philadelphia coming off a 14-3 season</a> and a dominant 40–22 win in Super Bowl LIX, expectations heading into 2025 are sky-high. But for Hurts, who threw for 2,903 yards, 18 passing touchdowns, and added 14 rushing touchdowns on 630 yards on the ground last season, the focus isn’t just on stats—it’s on significance. Despite ranking 20th in passing yards and tied for 20th in passing touchdowns, his dual-threat impact and top-10 QBR (65.6) underscored his all-around value as both a playmaker and a leader.</p><p>With the 2025 NFL season just around the corner , The 27-year-old reminded the fanbase what truly defines greatness—and it’s not just measured in touchdowns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Don’t bet against Jalen Hurts because he’s, he’s going to find a way to beat you.”</p><p>One of the decision-makers who played a role in Hurts’ coming to town back in 2020, Pederson earned some flack around the City of Brotherly Love for benching his nine-figure quarterback in favor of a second round pick who couldn’t even hold the QB1 spot at Alabama, having to transfer to Oklahoma where he didn’t quite stack up to first overall picks like Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield.</p><p>Fortunately, Hurts has developed with leaps and bounds at the NFL level and is now <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6514160/2025/08/11/nfl-qb-rankings-tiers-2025-jackson-daniels/" rel="noopener">considered a much better quarterback</a> than Murray, Mayfield, or the two quarterbacks he was competing with at Alabama, Mac Jones, and Tua Tagovailoa, even on The Athletic’s list. Considering Hurts has a 2-0 record against Pederson head-to-head, it’s safe to say the former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach knows it’s better to coach QB1 than coach against him.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“He would have to be at least in the top 5.

So he’s a student of the game,” Manning explained via 94WIP.</p><p>“Here’s another example—he squats 600 pounds, he can run over guys, he can throw it a mile. But his appreciation of the cerebral part of the game is what is impressive to me, and how he’s taken his game to the next level, and I think the sky is the limit for this guy.”</p><p>While Hurts has found a ton of success at every single level of football he’s played, including a playoff resume that few current NFL players can match, his biggest curse is playing for a really good team with talent all over the roster. Fortunately, with a new offensive coordinator calling the shots this fall, maybe Hurts will continue to rise up Sando’s board if he turns in another winning campaign, should he give a single care as to what an outside observer thinks about his do-it-all offensive game.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Peyton Manning says Eagles QB Jalen Hurts calls him and asks “very specific questions.” </p><p>Manning adds that Hurts’ “appreciation of the cerebral part of the game is what is impressive” to him. </p><p> <a href="https://t.co/OFznnwBVOZ">pic.twitter.com/OFznnwBVOZ</a></p><p>— SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsRadioWIP/status/1955284532837412918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
