Jalen Hurts admits he was the mastermind behind The Dagger

America’s Game The 2024 Philadelphia Eagles premiered last night and QB Jalen Hurts absolutely stole the show.

He was way more laid back than we’ve ever seen him and he actually talked about winning the Super Bowl a little bit. I’m not one of those idiot WIP callers who gets pissed because Jalen doesn’t wear his Super Bowl ring or talk about it to the media. But I must admit, it was still cool seeing him talk about the game and everything that went into it.

He specifically spoke on The Dagger and claimed that was he essentially the one who wanted to run it.

.@JalenHurts gave Nick Sirianni a list of plays he felt good about. One of them turned out to be the dagger to ice it. ❄️

Really great stuff there. The entire documentary is worth watching. It got me amped up for today.

Hurts being the guy behind The Dagger is so fitting. He has the best deep ball in the sport and proved it with that play, placing the ball right in Smitty’s bread basket. God DAMN that shit fires me up.
