Jalen Hurts bucked decades of history just by getting back to the Super Bowl after losing his first trip there as a starting quarterback.

You play the game to win," Hurts told reporters after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, setting up a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.

That's because Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown. He hit A.J. Brown on a beautifully thrown deep ball on 4th-and-5 from the Eagles' 45-yard line for 31 yards midway through the second quarter to the Commanders' 14-yard line.
