Jalen Hurts had a big first half in Super Bowl 57, as he tossed a touchdown and rushed for two scores to take a 10-point advantage at the half. The Eagles were much silent in the third quarter when they only mustered three points. They have come alive in the fourth period, as evidenced by Hurts' rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion to tie the game up at 35-35. The former Alabama Crimson Tide and Oklahoma Sooners star finished Super Bowl 57 with 70 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. His longest carry of the game went for 28 yards.
The Eagles' offense always thrived with Jalen Hurts under center. Back in the 2022 NFL regular season, he passed for 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns against only six interceptions and also burned rubber for 760 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 165 carries. It was an amazing performance for Jalen Hurts in Super Bowl 57, despite the Eagles ending up on the wrong side of the 38-35 loss.
