Jalen Hurts Super Bowl: Eagles QB Wins MVP in Super Bowl LIX
Jalen Hurts won the Super Bowl LIX MVP award after leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 38-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Here is a complete breakdown of his performance and what it means for his legacy.
Entertainment Correspondent
Jalen Hurts' performance in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025 in New Orleans was the defining moment of his NFL career. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback threw for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns, rushed for 72 yards and 1 touchdown, and earned the Super Bowl MVP award in a dominant 38–17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Super Bowl LIX Stats
Hurts finished Super Bowl LIX with 18 completions on 28 attempts for 221 yards, 2 touchdown passes, and 0 interceptions. He added 10 carries for 72 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. His dual-threat performance neutralized Kansas City's defense, which had no answer for either his arm or his legs. His passer rating of 109.4 reflected his efficiency throughout the game.
The MVP Award
The MVP vote was not particularly close. Hurts was the clear choice — his dual contributions on both the passing and rushing game made him the most impactful player of Super Bowl LIX. He became the second consecutive Eagles quarterback to win a Super Bowl MVP, following Nick Foles in Super Bowl LII (2018).
How Hurts Got Here
Hurts was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He took over as the starter in 2021 and steadily developed into an elite quarterback. His 2022 season — in which he threw for 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushed for 760 yards and 13 touchdowns — earned him an MVP runner-up finish. The 2024–25 Super Bowl run validated his status as one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
Hurts' Legacy
At 26 years old after Super Bowl LIX, Hurts has his entire prime ahead of him. A Super Bowl ring and MVP award before age 27 puts him in elite company historically.
