Philadelphia, PA — October 14, 2025 — Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made headlines this week with a bold statement reflecting his priorities for the 2025 NFL season. Speaking to reporters after a team practice, the 27-year-old signal-caller expressed a singular focus on bringing a Super Bowl title back to Philadelphia, downplaying the significance of individual accolades.
“I don’t care about NFL Honors,” Hurts declared. “The only trophy I care about is the one we lift together in Philly.”
The comment comes as the Eagles, sitting at a 3-3 record through Week 6, are navigating a challenging season. Despite a strong defensive showing—leading the NFL with 283 defensive yards per game—offensive inconsistencies have put pressure on Hurts to elevate the team. His words echo the sentiment of a city hungry for its second Lombardi Trophy since the franchise’s 2017 triumph.
Hurts, who earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2022 and finished second in MVP voting that same year, is no stranger to individual recognition. However, his latest remarks underscore a team-first mentality that has defined his leadership style. “It’s not about me. It’s about us—my brothers on this team, the coaches, and the fans who bleed green,” Hurts added. “We’re working every day to get back to that Super Bowl stage and finish the job.”
The Eagles’ 2022 Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs remains a driving force for Hurts. Sources close to the team say he’s been vocal in the locker room about “unfinished business,” especially after a lackluster 2024 campaign. With young stars like Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean bolstering the defense, and offensive weapons like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown, Hurts believes the Eagles have the pieces to make a deep playoff run.
“Jalen’s all about the grind,” said head coach Nick Sirianni. “He’s not chasing awards or headlines. He’s chasing that ring, and that’s what makes him the heart of this team.”
As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 4, 2025, speculation swirls about potential roster moves to strengthen Philly’s secondary, particularly at the CB2 position. Hurts, however, remains focused on the bigger picture. “We’ve got everything we need right here,” he said. “It’s about execution and staying locked in, week after week.”
For Eagles fans, Hurts’ words are a rallying cry. Social media posts on X show an outpouring of support, with fans praising his leadership and echoing his call for a Super Bowl push. “Jalen gets it. Philly don’t care about MVPs, we want that LOMBARDI,” one fan posted.
With 11 games left in the regular season, Hurts and the Eagles face a pivotal stretch. If his performance last season—3,858 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and 15 rushing TDs—is any indication, he’s ready to lead the charge. Whether that charge ends with a parade down Broad Street remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: for Jalen Hurts, it’s Super Bowl or bust.
