Philadelphia Eagles superstar quarterback Jalen Hurts has revealed what his phone background is after winning Super Bowl 59. While appearing on “The Tonight Show” with Eagles teammate Saquon Barkley, Hurts outlined how his phone wallpaper is a photo of him walking off the field after losing Super Bowl 57 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs defeated Hurts and the Eagles in Super Bowl 57 by a score of 38-35. Despite being on the losing side of the game, Hurts had one of the greatest quarterback performances in Super Bowl history. He had 374 total yards and four total touchdowns in the contest. However, it is clear that Hurts has been using that loss as motivation to get back to the Super Bowl, something he did and won earlier this week.
What Did Jalen Hurts Reveal to Jimmy Fallon?
Hurts made clear that he has been using the photograph of the loss each day to stay motivated and remind him what the main goal was of winning a Super Bowl.
“It’s like a little edge, you know. So I know, I guess people anticipate me to change it. It’s just a wallpaper, but it’s a humble reminder for me,” Hurts stated.
Fallon then asked Hurts to detail what the wallpaper revealed.
“It’s a picture of the first one [Super Bowl 57], me walking off the field,” Hurts explained.
Super Bowl 59 Review
Hurts and the Eagles had a phenomenal showing in Super Bowl 59 against the Chiefs. The defensive unit was extraordinary, contributing six sacks and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. However, the offense was also equally as strong, and Hurts had another legendary performance on the biggest stage.
He had 221 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 72 rushing yards, and another touchdown in a rushing capacity as well. This 293-yard, three-touchdown performance was good enough for Hurts to be named the Super Bowl 59 Most Valuable Player after the win.
After an up-and-down regular season, Hurts proved once again in the playoffs that he is one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. Hurts saved his two best performances of the season for the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl, winning both and now cementing himself in football history as a Super Bowl champion.
