He&#8217;s amassed a 6-3 career playoff record, totaling 2,194 yards of offense and 20 touchdowns in those nine games. Hurts also currently owns the highest completion percentage in Super Bowl history, 73.3% across his two appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Although his pedestrian regular-season numbers spark plenty of debate, Hurts undoubtedly flips a switch when the lights are brightest. What makes him so dangerous in pressure moments?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some things are in you,&#8221; Hurts told reporters on Wednesday. &#8220;If you don\u2019t have that mentality, then you are not in the right place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the 14 quarterbacks in the playoffs, six are still searching for their first postseason victory. Jalen Hurts stands apart as the only one with two Super Bowl appearances. Just three in the group have won a championship: Hurts, Aaron Rodgers (2010), and Matthew Stafford (2021).<\/p>\n<p>Now heading into this tenth postseason start, the reigning Super Bowl MVP will put his experience to the test this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. With the Eagles holding a 5-0 home playoff record in the Hurts\/Sirianni era, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan knows it will be an uphill battle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got a big-time arm. With those wideouts he has and stuff, he\u2019s capable of making any throw \u2026 so you\u2019ve got to honor the entire field with him,\u201d Shanahan said of Hurts. \u201cAny time you have a quarterback who\u2019s capable of doing that who is also a threat on every single play throughout an entire game with his legs, it\u2019s an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/theeagleswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/eagles\/2026\/01\/08\/jalen-hurts-is-prepared-to-lead-the-eagles-on-another-deep-playoff-run\/88081540007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jalen Hurts is prepared to lead the Eagles on another deep playoff run;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jalen Hurts is prepared to lead the Eagles on another deep playoff run<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One season removed from leading the Philadelphia Eagles to their second Super Bowl title, quarterback Jalen Hurts is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":664192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[220,1586,25,7,492,32,6,242,109,2476,96245,12871,495],"class_list":{"0":"post-664191","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-aaron-rodgers","10":"tag-eagles","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jalen-hurts","13":"tag-matthew-stafford","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-philadelphia","16":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","17":"tag-philadelphiaeagles","18":"tag-playoff-record","19":"tag-super-bowl-appearances","20":"tag-super-bowl-mvp"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115860446015898488","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
