Jalen Hurts shut down any doubts on Feb. 9 with an incredible performance as the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 59.
Standing amid the crowd, being bathed in confetti, Hurts stood characteristically calm as ever, while his teammates celebrated after the win.
Following the game, Tom Brady, who has seven Super Bowl titles to his name, offered Hurts congratulations and shared some wise advice during a post-game interview.
NFL Fans Excited About Seeing Jalen Hurts and Tom Brady
Brady’s advice for Hurts was somewhat in jest, but certainly had a streak of truth to it.
“I’m so happy for you,” Brady told the quarterback. “What I want you to feel good about is, don’t let that jersey out of your sight. I had a few stolen over the years, so keep track of that. It’s going to be memorable down the road.”

Fans were ecstatic seeing the two together, flooding the comment section of the interview clip with excitement.
“Solid advice from Brady.” A fan noted.
“They’re both so damn likeable.” Another fan wrote.
One fan referred to the theft and recovery of the jerseys Brady wore in the New England Patriots win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 49 and the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51, which were stolen from the locker room and later found by the FBI: “Great interview from a guy that’s been there!”
Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s defense, which is first in yards allowed and second in points allowed, overwhelmed Kansas City’s offense throughout the night.
“That Eagles defense was awesome,” a fan said.
The barrage of compliments for the two continued.
“Goat recognizes another Goat,” a fan commented.
“You did a great job calling your first SB! Grace, elegance, dignity and professionalism during an emotional week. You will be even better next season.💐” Another followed.
Brady has won the Super Bowl MVP five times, while Hurts received the Pete Rozelle Trophy for Super Bowl 59.
However, after the win, Hurts had the honor to achieve something that Brady never did. In the quarterback’s first Super Bowl two years ago, the Eagles lost to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes 38-35. This time, Hurts became the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to win the second matchup after losing the first, in a head-to-head quarterback contest.
But for Brady and the Patriots, this never came true as they lost to the New York Giants and Eli Manning in Super Bowls 42 and 46.
