Super Bowl 59 occurred earlier last month after the Chiefs and Eagles had beaten the Bills and the Commanders, respectively, to earn their places in the big game in New Orleans. Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes played considerable roles in their teams’ successes.
The big game was highly anticipated, and the favoritism was split between NFL fans who wanted to see the Chiefs lose due to their suspect refereeing all season and fans who wanted to see the first-ever three-peat in NFL history.
Of course, not everything goes to plan, and the Kansas City Chiefs found that out the hard way as they fell, and fell hard, to the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Signal-caller Jalen Hurts led the Birds to a blow-out 40-22 victory.
While the score differential may have been rather large, it could have been much larger had Hurts gotten his way at the end of the game. At the end of the game, following Kenny Pickett’s entrance, Hurts was videoed on the sideline with his teammates and head coach Nick Sirianni.
Jalen Hurts Wanted To Add To The Scoreboard During Super Bowl 59
At the beginning of the video, which was taken after Eagles head coach Nick Siranni had made the decision to take Hurts out of the game, Hurts can be seen asking his head coach if he’s “sure” about the decision.

“If I had Philly, I would have let that S**t ride,” Hurts said as he walked over to Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley can be seen trying to be reasonable, pointing to the scoreboard when another voice chimes in.
DeVonta Smith can be heard asking Hurts if he wanted to “kick them when they down, huh?” Hurts calls out his coach, telling Smith that Sirianni has declined to keep the starters in the game.
With how the game eventually ended, we were sure that Hurts was happy with the results. But we can only imagine how different that scoreline could have been if the Eagles had left Hurts in there to run up the score.
