Jalen Hurts wasn’t just content with winning the Super Bowl—he wanted to bury the Kansas City Chiefs even deeper. New mic’d-up footage from the Philadelphia Eagles’ YouTube channel has revealed just how determined Hurts was to keep piling on the points, even as his team cruised to a dominant 40-22 victory over Patrick Mahomes and company.
Hurts Wanted to Stay In and Keep the Pressure On
As the Eagles completely dismantled the Chiefs, head coach Nick Sirianni began pulling his starters from the game, securing the win and preventing any unnecessary injuries. However, Hurts wasn’t ready to come off the field just yet.
“Are you sure?” Hurts asked Sirianni on the sideline. “We’re done?”
Sirianni’s response was immediate and emphatic:
“Yeah, I’m fing sure. Love you, man. Way to fing play, baby.”
Despite his coach’s decision, Hurts’ competitive fire still burned. He walked over to the Eagles’ bench, where Saquon Barkley, Parris Campbell, DeVonta Smith, and A.J. Brown were seated, and made it clear that he wanted to keep the foot on the gas.
“If I had Philly, I would have let that s* ride,”** Hurts declared, implying that if he were the coach, he would have kept pushing the Chiefs deeper into humiliation.
Barkley, amused by Hurts’ mindset, responded with some perspective:
“We up 40-something points, bruh, come on.”
Hurts, still not fully convinced, replied, “I know, bro. But I mean, we killing.”
At that moment, Smith chimed in with a fitting summary of Hurts’ mentality:
“Kick them when they’re down, huh?”

While some quarterbacks might have been satisfied with simply securing a championship, Hurts wanted total domination—a mindset that has defined his rise as one of the league’s most fearless competitors.
If this is any indication of what’s to come, the Eagles’ opponents should expect nothing less than an unrelenting, all-gas-no-brakes mentality from Hurts in the seasons ahead.
