Numbers: Jalen Hurts vs. Patrick Mahomes over the last 3 seasons, including playoffs

If you’ve been on the “Jalen Hurts isn’t a franchise quarterback” bandwagon, now might be a good time to quietly hop off. The Eagles’ QB put on a clinic in Sunday’s 55-23 thrashing of the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, leading Philadelphia to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Hurts’ stat line speaks for itself: 20-of-28 passing for 246 yards and a touchdown, plus three rushing scores. He was poised, efficient, and most importantly, in complete control. The Eagles didn’t just win — they dominated, and Hurts was at the center of it all.

The Eagles will now face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on February 9th in New Orleans so obviously, it’s the appropriate time to see how the Eagles’ QB1 matches up against the Chiefs’ QB1. We’ll take a look at Patrick Mahomes vs. Jalen Hurts over the past three seasons, including playoffs.

Patrick Mahomes vs. Jalen Hurts – Last 3 Seasons (Including Playoffs) 

Trust me, I completely understand that the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes clearly have an advantage in the most important category of them all (Super Bowl Rings) but the head-to-head comparison between the two quarterbacks is definitely interesting.

For all of the hate that Jalen Hurts gets on a daily basis, from the national and local media along with Eagles fans simply needs to stop. It’s completely unnecessary when you look at the numbers, right?

Even if you’re not a fan of analytics, the eye test passes every single time too. Jalen Hurts wins football games. Period. Nothing else matters besides winning and that’s exactly what Hurts does every time he steps foot on the field.

Sirianni Goes to Bat for His QB

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni wasted no time hyping up his quarterback during the post-game celebration, and he had a very pointed message for the doubters:

“How about our quarterback?! He’s a stud. I knew he was going to play that way. I knew it. Don’t doubt him. All he does is win.”

That last part is the real story here. Hurts doesn’t just play well—he wins. This season alone, the Eagles have gone 15-1 with Hurts at the helm, including the postseason. And on Sunday, he didn’t just win; he commanded an offense that made history with seven rushing touchdowns, obliterating a playoff record.

Jalen Hurts Keeps It Humble As Usual

For his part, Hurts was as measured and team-oriented as ever in his post-game remarks.

No trash talk. No “I told you so.” Just a laser focus on the task ahead: beating the Kansas City Chiefs in two weeks to bring home Philadelphia’s second Lombardi Trophy.

“You play the game to win,” Hurts told reporters after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, setting up a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.

It’s amazing how much doubt there is sometimes. I can’t quite comprehend it,” head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters Sunday, confused about the level of doubt Hurts received leading up to the game. “He’s just continued to win.”

The Bottom Line

The doubters have been loud, but Hurts has been louder—with his play. Sunday’s performance wasn’t just a statement; it was a mic drop. If you’re still not sold on Jalen Hurts after this run, the problem isn’t him. It’s you.

Now, with the Chiefs looming in the Super Bowl, Hurts has one more shot to silence every critic once and for all. Stay tuned—this could get special.
