Jalen Hurts has his say about Eagles' capability ahead of Super Bowl rematch vs Chiefs in New Orleans

Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs versus Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl clash, Jalen Hurts is brimming with confidence. He is fully expecting to get the team's lost glory back.

With the big game in New Orleans just a few days away, Hurts opened up about how he has always believed this season was destined to end in a Super Bowl appearance.

Hurts credited the Eagles' success to the unity in the locker room as the collective goal is more important than individual accolades.

"It takes a team to go out there and have success," Hurts said on Friday, via Pro Football Talk. "It’s looked a ton of different ways but any team that has success looks a ton of different ways. Just put our focus on winning.”

Hurts' statement about his gut feeling of reaching the Super Bowl comes after he commented about Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni letting him out of his "straitjacket' following the Eagles' win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game.

Hurts clarified that he was just having fun.

Some people found his comment about a "straitjacket" offensive because it can be linked to mental health problems. A "straitjacket" is used to restrain someone.

For the Eagles quarterback, this is his second trip to the Super Bowl. On Feb. 9, he and his team will look to exact revenge at the Chiefs after they defeated them two years ago.

In 2023, the Chiefs narrowly won 38-35.
