The Philadelphia Eagles and their quarterback Jalen Hurts made history on Sunday night when Hurts scored a triple to tie Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles were trailing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by seven points with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter. With the game on the line, Hurts took the snap and scrambled for a three-yard touchdown to tie the game at 28-28.
It was an incredible moment for Hurts, who was making his first career Super Bowl start. The 23-year-old quarterback had been thrust into the starting role after Carson Wentz was injured late in the season. Hurts had been impressive in his first few starts, but this was his biggest moment yet.
The triple was the first of its kind in Super Bowl history. It was also the first time a quarterback had scored a rushing touchdown in the Super Bowl since Steve Young in 1995. Hurts’ touchdown was a testament to his athleticism and ability to make plays when it matters most.
The triple also gave the Eagles a much-needed boost of confidence. After trailing for most of the game, the Eagles were suddenly back in it. They went on to win the game 31-28 in overtime, thanks in large part to Hurts’ heroics.
Jalen Hurts’ triple was a moment of history that will be remembered for years to come. It was a remarkable play that showed just how talented and clutch Hurts can be. With his performance on Sunday night, Hurts has cemented himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
