Eagles Starting QB' Jalen Hurts named 2025 Super Bowl MVP with 3-touchdown game

Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl MVP.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was named MVP after the team obliterated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 59.

Behind Hurts and a dominant defensive performance, the Eagles flew out to a 24-0 lead in the first half.

Hurts rushed for a 1-yard touchdown and threw for a 12-yard score to wide receiver A.J. Brown in the first half as Philadelphia built a commanding advantage.

Hurts and the entire Eagles team kept flying in the second half. The Eagles quarterback tossed a 46-yard touchdown to wide receiver DeVonta Smith as Philadelphia padded its lead to 34-0 with under three minutes left in the third quarter. Hurts’ second touchdown pass closed the door on any chance the Chiefs had of coming back.

The Eagles quarterback completed 17-of-22 passes for 221 yards, to go with two touchdowns and one interception. He rushed 11 times for 72 yards and had a rushing touchdown.

It’s the Eagles’ second Super Bowl title. Hurts joins Nick Foles as the only Eagles players in franchise history to be named Super Bowl MVP.

The two are the only quarterbacks to throw for at least 200 yards and two TDs, rush for at least 50 yards and a score with Montana doing it in Super Bowl 19 against Miami.

Hurts is now just the fourth quarterback to lose his first Super Bowl start and go on to win one as a starter later in his career, joining Hall of Famers John Elway, Bob Griese and Len Dawson.
