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.

Near the end of his news conference Sunday night, Jalen Hurts was asked about the praise he received from Nick Sirianni following Sunday’s NFC Championship win and what it’s like playing for the Eagles coach.
