In a night full of triumph and emotion, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts celebrated the team's commanding 55-23 victory over Washington in the NFC Championship with a personal touch that captured hearts beyond the game. Moments after securing the Eagles' spot in Super Bowl LIX, Hurts shared a heartfelt kiss with his fiancee, Bry Burrows, as Fox cameras captured the scene at Lincoln Financial Field.
The couple, who announced their engagement last year, was later seen walking hand-in-hand along the sidelines as the team celebrated their return to the NFL's biggest stage. This marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl appearance in three years, with Hurts at the helm of the franchise's resurgence.
Jalen Hurts shines in NFC Championship
Hurts delivered a stellar performance in the NFC Championship, completing 20 of 28 es for 246 yards and a touchdown. His dual-threat capability was on full display as he also rushed for three touchdowns, underscoring his status as one of the league's premier quarterbacks.
The Eagles dominated Washington from the start, building an insurmountable lead that showcased their offensive firepower and defensive strength. With Hurts leading the charge, the team looks poised to avenge their narrow Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs two years ago, when they fell 38-35 in a game that went down to the wire.
For Hurts, the journey to this moment has been one of growth and determination. Drafted in the second round in 2020, he quickly rose to become the face of the franchise. Off the field, his relationship with Burrows has been a steady presence.
The couple first met at the University of Alabama, where Hurts played from 2016 to 2018 before transferring to Oklahoma. Their on-and-off relationship became public in 2023, culminating in an engagement announcement to Essence last September.
The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs, who edged out the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship, setting up a highly anticipated rematch of their Super Bowl clash from two years ago. Kansas City, aiming for their third consecutive championship, will meet a Philadelphia team fueled by redemption and momentum.
