Emmanuel Acho calls out NFL media for criticism of Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are headed to another Super Bowl. The Eagles steamrolled past their NFC East rival, the Washington Commanders, with a 55-23 victory in the NFC Championship.

In the win, the Eagles had standout performances from quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back, Saquon Barkley. Each rushed for three touchdowns, accounting for six of the team's eight touchdowns.

After the Eagles reached the Super Bowl for the second time in three years, former NFL linebacker and Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho, called out Jalen Hurts' critics. Acho questioned people for still doubting Hurts and stated that Hurts does what matters the most: win.

Acho said:

“If you’re still doubting Jalen Hurts, what are you doing? The only statistics that matter is winning and that’s what he does best.”

Despite heading into Sunday's game with a knee injury, Hurts played lights out through the air and on the ground. Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards, one touchdown, and rushed for 16 yards on 10 carries with three touchdowns.

In his five regular seasons in the NFL, Hurts has proven to be a winner. He's won 10 or more games in each of the last three seasons and has an overall record of 46-20 in the regular season. In the postseason, he has a 5-3 career record.

After beating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship game on Monday, Jan. 27, the Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket to their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. It will be a rematch of two years ago, when the Eagles and Chiefs met in Super Bowl LIX where the Chiefs won, 38-35.

As Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and coach Andy Reid look to capture their fourth Super Bowl together, Jalen Hurts, coach Nick Sirianni, running back Saquon Barkley, and company will seek their first.

The two teams didn't face one another in the regular season this year. The Eagles finished with a 14-3 record, while the Chiefs finished 15-2.

According to ESPN.com, the Chiefs are currently 1.5-point favorites over the Eagles. The Super Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

If Hurts wins the Super Bowl, Acho's point about him being a winner will become even more validated.
