  1. Hurts says Super Bowl repeat not about proving doubters wrong

    Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is about to play in his second Super Bowl in three years.

    Two years ago he was in contention for the season MVP award and had arguably his best game in Super Bowl 57, despite losing 38-35 to the Kansas City Chiefs.

    The Eagles have set up a rematch with the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 yet doubts have increased this season over whether Hurts is an elite quarterback.

    Asked about the doubters on Tuesday, he said: "This is not about them, it's about the work you put in and everything [in a game] is a reflection of that work.

    "I've always had a focus on myself and trying to improve, and ultimately beating whoever's in front of you."

    Asked what's different with him now, compared to 2023, Hurts added: "Just the growth and the time. Every day there's a new lesson and a learning opportunity.

    "I'm a more mature person and a better leader. All of these things, I've been able to push the threshold of [through] my entire career."

    On what having another shot at Super Bowl glory means, the 26-year-old said it "means everything. To have an opportunity to pursue whatever it is you're ionate about, whatever it is you love, it's very important."

    Now Super Bowl week is under way, a host of events are planned for the world's media to speak to the guys who will be playing in arguably the biggest annual game in world sport on Sunday.

    They were all available for an hour at Opening Night and the very next morning nine players from each team were available again at their team hotel, along with the head coach.

    Half an hour before Jalen Hurts was due to appear, a media scrum had already been formed by those desperate to hear from the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.

    The same reporters may well be here on Wednesday and Thursday, such is the demand for content during the build-up to Super Bowl 59.
