Eagles: Yet another mic-drop moment for Jalen Hurts
The Philadelphia Eagles are a show you can't miss. This whole year, they have been the team to beat, while also putting on a show.

The Philadelphia Eagles are a show you can't miss. This whole year, they have been the team to beat, while also putting on a show. They have been one of the most explosive teams this season, on both sides of the ball.
And, they have personalities.
But, there isn't a guy that demands more attention at his press conferences than Jalen Hurts does. He is constantly dropping quotes, scriptures, and saying that makes it impossible to hate the guy.
He constantly displays his love for the game, while also showing a Kobe, or, 'Mamba Mentality', I should say. He is never fazed, by anything. Even this week, he is as even-keeled as can be.
He has played in National Championship in college, and huge games throughout his career, yet when the biggest one of his career emerges, he is as stone-cold as can be.
He doesn't care that he had doubters either. In fact, he just cares about ball.
"You know, everything that I want to do is just quantify my work," Hurts said on Friday. "Just quantify the work that I put in. I don't really like to look at the results. Never like to look at the results. Just the process of getting better.
"You know that it's truly, you know, you can look back and say that there are so many things that can motivate me and drive me to want more and to be the best and you know, why do I just keep getting up and going and going and going? But I had a purpose before everybody had an opinion. It's not about anybody else."
Hurts has proven just in his third year, and only second full season as a starting quarterback, that he has the maturity to carry a team to the Super Bowl. Well maybe he didn't carry them, but he does play the most polarizing position.
Hurts is the future, or certainly part of it, of this league, and if he wins on Sunday, even more people will be able to see that.
