In order to open the Super Bowl Lix Media Night, Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts explained how the team’s defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII “illuminated” a fire in it, which has since spread throughout the changing room.
“I learned so much”, ” Hurts said Monday. “It’s the same as any other game. I think the moments are the moments. But in the end every game has its lessons – good, bad or indifferent. So, just to be able to become wiser, grow and ripe and to take all these lessons for the next and the next games … it has lit a flame, lit a fire in me and this opportunity have exactly what you work for. “
A day later Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni repeated the feelings of Hurts.Explain how the team’s difficulties have shaped his current identity.
“This game is not easy. This game has its ups and downs. Seasons have ups and downs from year to year, ”said Sirianni. “Well, that’s how a football game works, right? Nobody in the NFL creates a perfect game … you will have bad games. You will have good games. It’s about concentrating your way of thinking on the next. “
Sirianni added that Philadelphia’s adversity in 2023 prompted the team to do the team in 2025 at that moment.
“The adversities of this team included,” he commented. “Even return to the 2023 season – which we have not talked about since the beginning of the year – are grateful for this. We are grateful for this … I am grateful for it because it shaped us who we are now and (it is) a big reason why we are sitting here again at that moment. The hug of adversity is enormous for their development as a person, as a player, as a trainer. “
The 2023-24 season was a massive disappointment for the Eagles. After Philadelphia started the year 10: 1, he ended the regular season with five of his last six games. Philly was also embarrassing in the Wild Card round after suffering a 32:9 defeat against the 9-8 Tampa Bay Buccaners.
“After a year like last year in which you go into the new year, you don’t want to repeat that,” said Offensive Lineman Jordan Mailata. “There has been a lot of fire in this team among many people who are still part of this team here and now. I agree with what Nick (Sirianni) said and what Jalen (hurt) because they have to go to the highest level, but they can only do so if they learn from their mistakes. “
Hopefully the mistakes of the Eagles will not get their ugly head on this Sunday if they face the chiefs in Super Bowl Lix.
