Jalen Hurts shared a 4-word message in his postgame interview after his Philadelphia Eagles clinched a spot in the NFC Championship.
Hurts’ Eagles beat the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa., on Sunday in their NFC Divisional Round playoff game. Hurts went 15/20 for 128 yards as a passer, but he rushed 7 times for 70 yards and a touchdown as the Eagles rushed for 285 yards and 3 TDs during the snowy game.
The Eagles were the No. 2 seed in the NFC and will host the NFC Championship game now that the Detroit Lions have been eliminated.
Asked during his postgame interview with Melissa Stark on NBC about reaching the conference championship, Hurts had a four-word message.
“It comes through Philly,” Hurts said.
“That means everything for this city, this team. We got everything we want in front of us, taking it a game and a day at a time. We’ll go enjoy this one and move on to the next.”
