Jalen Hurts' revenge tour ends with Super Bowl MVP and a parade in Philly

Jalen Hurts had been waiting for this moment. Two years after falling short against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles' quarterback delivered a performance for the ages, leading Philadelphia to a 40-22 victory in Super Bowl LIX. And this time, there were no late-game heartbreaks, no questionable calls-just pure domination.

Hurts' effort earned him Super Bowl MVP honors, a well-deserved recognition after he threw for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and added another score on the ground. His leadership and playmaking were on full display as the Eagles took control early and never looked back.

Hurts and the Eagles' offense set the tone early

From the opening drive, Hurts made it clear that this was his night. He completed 17 of 22 es with pinpoint accuracy, keeping the Chiefs' defense on its heels. The Eagles capitalized on nearly every scoring opportunity, using their signature "tush push" to get Hurts into the end zone for a first-half touchdown.

By halftime, Philadelphia had built a commanding 24-0 lead, and Kansas City never truly recovered. The Eagles' offensive line dominated up front, giving Hurts all the time he needed to dissect the defense.

Philly's defense makes Mahomes look human

While Hurts shined on offense, the Eagles' defense made life miserable for Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs' superstar was under siege all night, sacked six times and intercepted twice. Rookie defensive back Cooper DeJean's pick-six in the second quarter was the dagger, stretching the Eagles' lead and sending Philadelphia fans into a frenzy.

Even when Mahomes tried to rally the Chiefs late in the game, the Eagles never flinched. Kansas City found the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, but by then, it was far too late.

Hurts gets his revenge, Eagles get their parade

For Hurts, this win was personal. Two years ago, he put up a near-perfect performance in a losing effort. This time, he made sure there was no doubt. His Super Bowl MVP award cements his place among the NFL's elite, and more importantly, brings another Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia.

And while the NFL no longer hands out free cars to Super Bowl MVPs, Hurts will have something even better-a championship ring and a hero's welcome when he returns to Philly.

The parade is coming, but when?

Eagles fans are already preparing for another legendary celebration down Broad Street. The city has yet to confirm the exact parade date, with winter weather possibly delaying the event, but one thing is certain-Philly is ready to party.

For now, Hurts and the Eagles can enjoy this moment, knowing they didn't just win a Super Bowl. They settled the score.
