NFC Championship: QB Jalen Hurts sings Eagles fight song after advancing to Super Bowl

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — QB Jalen Hurts celebrated his team’s victory over the 49ers in the NFC Championship by singing the Eagles fight song to a packed Lincoln Financial Field.

Hurts had one of Philadelphia’s four rushing touchdowns and the Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl, forcing both San Francisco quarterbacks out of the game with injuries and beating the injured 49ers 31-7 on Sunday.

Hurts had a modest game by his standards after a season in which he was a finalist for MVP. He was 15 of 25, rushed for 121 yards and ran just 39. Hurts sat alone at his locker, all dressed in purple, puffing on a cigar while the Eagles celebrated around him. He understood that there was still a game to win.

“I never knew how far we would go,” Hurts said, “but I never said I couldn’t.”

Fans flocked to the city streets after the big win, filling Broad Street in Center City and Frankford and Cottman in Mayfair.

The Eagles, who won the Super Bowl five years ago with a different coach and quarterback, will be looking to do it again behind the impressive duo of Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni. Philadelphia meets former Eagles coach Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs.
