Exacting revenge from the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win two years ago, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts puts on a Super Bowl LIX masterclass to win the coveted MVP honor

A poised performance earned Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts his first Super Bowl MVP award on Sunday (Monday, February 10, Manila time), after leading his team to a 40-22 revenge win over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans.

Hurts left the NFL title game two years ago in a flurry of Chiefs red and gold confetti and refused to let history repeat itself at the Superdome, throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns with another score on the ground as well.

“I’ve just been able to use every experience and learn from it. The good, the bad – all of it, use it as fuel to pursue my greatness,” said Hurts, who has led the Eagles to the playoffs in all of his four seasons as a starter in Philadelphia.

“Just can’t wait to enjoy this with my family and soak it in.”

The two-time Pro Bowler plowed into the end zone behind his powerful offensive line to get the scoring started in the first quarter with his team’s signature move – the “brotherly shove.”

Hurts’ only real blunder of the evening came early in the second quarter, as he threw a goal-line interception, but it had no real impact on the game as the Chiefs were forced the punt on the next possession.

Hurts connected with receiver A.J. Brown for another score with less than two minutes left in the first half and threw a 46-yard dime to DeVonta Smith to make it 33-0 late in the third quarter.

Hurts was nimble against the blitz and slipped 17 yards past the Kansas City defense to set up the third of kicker Jake Elliott’s four successful field goal attempts early in the fourth.

“Just can’t wait to enjoy this with my family and soak it in,” said Hurts, as a the silver and green confetti fluttered around him.

It was the Eagles’ second Super Bowl title after they beat the New England Patriots in 2018. – Rappler.com
