Fresh off a triumphant win at the 2025 Super Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts shared his reflections about his team’s victory, which prompted online discussion. The footballer also gave credit to his past experiences and the efforts made by his fellow teammates.
Hurts spoke to Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews right after the electrifying game. The interview took place on the field amid a roaring crowd and confetti.
“You know, God is good. He’s greater than all the highs and the lows and I think, personally myself [sic], I’ve just been able to use every experience and learn from it—the good, the bad, all of it, using it as fuel to pursue my own greatness, and I think I couldn’t do any of these things without the guys around me,” shared Hurts, who dubbed his team “special.”
Prompting the quarterback to speak a little bit more about the Eagles’ success and how they managed to win, the reporter asked Hurts to elaborate on their strategy further, adding, “No one saw this coming.”
After explaining how the Eagles were able to learn from past events, Hurts responded, “Defense wins championships, and we saw how they played today. We saw the difference they made in the game and they gave us opportunities, gave us short fields, and we’re able to do what we do.”
Andrews then prompted Hurts to take notice of the lively energy surrounding him and the confetti raining down on him and the field and asked him about his feelings. “Still processing it. I’m still processing it but can’t wait to enjoy this with my family and soak it in,” divulged Hurts.
During another moment of the interview, fellow Eagles player Brandon Graham interjected to celebrate the team’s victory with Hurts. Graham showered Hurts with praise, as they shook hands, embraced, and let each other know how appreciative they are of one another.
Social media was set ablaze with comments praising Hurts and the rest of the Eagles for their impressive gameplay. “JALEN Hurts played a Phenomenal Game. All the Eagles did how Sweet it is,” commended a supporter.
Another echoed, “Cheers to you @JalenHurts. I love your mindset and approach to life. From this member of #ChiefsKingdom to you, congrats. You are the embodiment of perseverance through adversity. You do it the right way and let your play do the talking. #SuperBowlLIX.”

Reacting to the comment Andrews made during Hurts’ interview, a netizen penned, “‘No one saw this coming?’ Erin why would you say that?!!!! 😮.” Echoing the sentiment, someone else expressed, “Erin Andrews is terrible. The snark making it all about her. However it’s hard for her seeing as how she fanboyed the cowboys and chiefs all year and was totally disinterested in the eagles [sic].”
An Instagrammer who noticed how emotional Hurts was after winning, noted, “It’s okay to cry Jalen you are a champion.”
Coming to Hurts’ defense against past critics, an admirer wrote, “This dude deserves it man.. nothing but negative comments all year …. Like we all say, just cuz we don’t throw the ball as much as you wants us to doesn’t mean we can’t .. he definitely showed yall [sic].”
“Humble low key guy. That’s rare in that league [sic],” praised a fan, while another gushed, “We did it! Congratulations, Jalen! You deserve this victory. You truly are number 1, like your jersey says. Well done. Fly, Eagles, Fly! On the road to victory! E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.”
A fellow supporter said, “Hurts was very good, but the MVPs of the game was the Eagles Defense. Exceptional play by all including the coach [sic].”
The Eagles Super Bowl victory comes after social media users shared their predictions on the game’s then-upcoming outcome. Many believed that the Kansas City Chiefs would take the title, which netizens also expressed frustration over because of the team’s previous continued dominance.

Some users believed that officiating has favored Kansas City. On this, one user commented, “I think the NFL is rigged to help the Chiefs win. That’s why I’ve bet on the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl this year. If the Chiefs do end up winning, I’m going to be extremely mad about it.”
