Jalen Hurts’ resilience and big-game prowess to be tested in NFC wild card game
January 9, 2026
Jalen Hurts has shown his ability to rise to big occasions, backed by a Super Bowl MVP. The Eagles need more of those performances as they aim for back-to-back titles. Despite throwing a career-high 25 touchdowns, Hurts had inconsistent moments this season. Much of the blame fell on first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. Hurts believes experience is key, with a 6-3 postseason record and two Super Bowl trips. The Eagles hope his winner traits will lead them to another championship. Hurts is known for his elite presence and ability to meet the moment.
