The five most memorable moments of Jalen Hurts’ career
Win NFC Championship, Go to Super Bowl
- In just his third NFL season and second as a full-time starter, Hurts led the Eagles to their first NFC title since 2017. His 2022 season was also marked by a Second Team All-Pro selection, a runner-up finish in the Associated Press MVP voting, a 14-1 record as a starter and tying the Eagles’ franchise record for total touchdowns in a season (35). He broke the record again the following year, with 38.

He set the Super Bowl record for most yards by a quarterback (70), tied the record for most touchdowns (three) and also tied the record for most individual points scored (20). He also threw for 304 yards with one passing touchdown, joining Steve Young and Joe Montana as the only players to total 370 yards and four total touchdowns in a Super Bowl.
Sets record for number of touches by a midfielder
- In the 2022 season, Hurts set the record for most touchdowns by a quarterback in a season (regular season + playoffs) with 18. His five touchdowns in that postseason were the most by any quarterback in a playoff run. He has 41 touchdowns in the regular season for his career — one of four quarterbacks in NFL history to reach that milestone.

The Eagles trailed 17-7 in the first half before they outscored Kansas City 14-0 in the second half. It was Hurts’ 13th consecutive victory over teams with winning records, breaking the previous record held by Peyton Manning and Vinny Testaverde. The game was also his seventh consecutive victory when trailing by double digits, extending his own NFL record.
Domination at two powerful universities
- Few players dominate between two college football powerhouses, but Hurts is an exception.
