Jalen Hurts still feels the three-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII and admits the loss continues to drive him, write Sam Gillette and Alex Ross for People.
Two years later and on the eve of a rematch, Jalen Hurts has learned a lot and feels he has become a wiser and more mature player. That can all be credited to the lessons he takes with him from not only the Super Bowl, but every game since.
“It lit a flame, lit a fire in me, and to have this opportunity again is exactly what you work for,” said Hurts.
The Eagles quarterback has much gratitude to have the opportunity to play in another Super Bowl.
He calls it a blessing to be able to see the hard work he puts in places him in a position to once again compete for a Super Bowl championship.
While the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the NFL season, and among the most watched sporting events in the country, Hurts likes to any other game.
His focus always remains the same.
The hope, however, is that the result this time will be different.
