For Hurts, it’s a career-defining performance, breaking through the glass ceiling some thought he never would. He played tremendously at times in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII loss to the Chiefs two years prior, but he also cost his team with a fumble that was run back for a score.

Last season, the Eagles ground to a halt after a 10-1 start, and the relationship between Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni was under the microscope. A 2-2 start this season didn’t help matters, with Hurts’ seven turnovers sounding alarm bells.

Hurts also had faced plenty of adversity prior to the Super Bowl loss two years ago, getting benched at halftime of the CFP National Championship Game at Alabama and also losing the starting role during Doug Pederson’s previous .

But Sunday was his moment, even if he wasn’t perfect.

Hurts did have an interception that left points on the board in the first half, but the turnover could be excused. After his early-season rash of miscues, Hurts said “I think it starts with me” — and since then, Hurts only turned the ball over four times through Sunday’s Super Bowl victory.

Plus, the Eagles’ defense had Hurts’ back with a dominant performance, generating six sacks, two interceptions (including a pick-six) and a forced fumble.

At game’s end, Hurts watched as the confetti fell on his head and pondered the biggest victory of his football career.

“God is good — even in the highs and the lows,” Hurts told said upon receiving the Pete Rozelle Trophy. “Couldn’t be here without my teammates. The effort, the determination everybody displayed to get to this point. It’s never been about what any one of us does, it’s always been about what we do and how we’re responding to certain things. Hell of a game today.”
