While all the lights shined on Patrick Mahomes following his phenomenal performance in leading the Chiefs in a come-from-behind 38–35 victory against the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, the game’s Most Valuable Player didn’t shy away from praising Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts for his play.
Hurts threw for 304 yards and one passing touchdown while rushing for three scores and totaling 70 yards on 15 carries. Despite the Eagles’ loss, Mahomes believes that Hurts should no longer have doubters in his ability to be an elite NFL quarterback.
“If there were any doubters left there shouldn’t be now. The way he [Hurts] stepped on this stage, and ran, threw the ball, whatever it took for his team to win,” Mahomes said after the game. “. . . I don’t want it to get lost in the loss that they had.
