Hurts: Eagles have 'yet to arrive' after Super Bowl victory
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts believes this isn't the team's last championship.
"We've still yet to arrive. … There's no destination," Hurts said Monday, according to PHLY's Zach Berman.
The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in dominant fashion Sunday night. Hurts threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 72 yards and another touchdown.
Super Bowl LIX was a rematch from two seasons ago, when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs edged Philadelphia 38-35. The Eagles blew a 10-point lead, and Harrison Butker kicked the go-ahead field goal with 8 seconds left.
The Birds had no problem holding this year's lead and were up 24-0 at halftime, making it the second-largest halftime deficit in Super Bowl history. Hurts and the Eagles never looked back, adding another 16 points to win 40-22. It was the second-largest victory margin in a Super Bowl this decade, behind the Chiefs' 31-9 loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
"When it's all said and done for me, I won't measure my success off of any numbers or statistics ... I measure it off of rings and championships," Hurts said, per "Good Morning Football."
Hurts joins Joe Montana as the only quarterbacks to have two or more passing touchdowns, 50 or more rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown in a Super Bowl, according to "Good Morning Football." He's also the third quarterback to win a college and NFL championship, joining Montana and Joe Namath, per the New York Post's Paul Schwartz.
"To be able to bring a championship back to Philadelphia means everything," Hurts said, according to Berman.
