Sunday’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, a rematch of Super Bowl 59, ended with another Eagles win at Arrowhead Stadium.
The rivalry between these franchises has only grown stronger, and in a game filled with officiating controversies and plenty of tension on the field, Chris Jones decided to taunt Jalen Hurts. But the reigning Super Bowl MVP didn’t let it slide, firing back with a direct response to the defender.
How Did Jalen Hurts Respond to Chris Jones’ Trash Talk After the Eagles’ Win?
Trash talk usually comes from the winning side. After all, why would a player taunt a rival after a loss? For Jones, though, the attitude remained even after falling to the very team that most recently beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
At the end of the game, after the Eagles kneeled to seal the win at Arrowhead, Jones told Hurts, “You don’t even have 100 yards.” Hurts, the Eagles quarterback, quickly fired back: “We won the f**king game.”

Jones’s jab wasn’t even accurate. Hurts finished with exactly 101 passing yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. It was a more subdued outing for the QB, who managed the offense efficiently, leaned on the ground game, and delivered when needed.
Philadelphia piled up 122 rushing yards, with Saquon Barkley carrying 22 times for 88 yards and a touchdown. Hurts also scored on a tush push, which sparked the biggest controversy of the night.
Fans and analysts were outraged over a missed penalty during the Eagles’ tush push that essentially iced the game, extending the lead to two possessions in the fourth quarter. Complaints stem from the fact that false starts and infractions have often gone uncalled during the play.
The NFL even held a vote in the offseason to ban the play, with the Chiefs being one of 22 teams in favor. However, it fell short of the 24-team minimum needed to form a majority and officially enact the ban.
Regardless of how the league handles the tactic, the debate highlights how the Eagles have unsettled the NFL with disruptive ideas, whether in the draft, free agency, or creative use of the rulebook. That same approach halted the Chiefs’ dynasty run last season.
Jones’s provocation underlines how heated this rivalry has become, with both teams still seen as the standard-bearers of their conferences, even with Kansas City starting 0-2. If another chapter of this saga unfolds this year, it can only happen in the Super Bowl, and the stage would once again be loaded with tension.
