Eagles' Jalen Hurts: 'I Was Just Joking Around' with Sirianni 'Straitjacket' Remark

Jalen Hurts turned some heads with a postgame comment he made about head coach Nick Sirianni letting him out of his "straitjacket" during the NFC Championship Game, but to hear him tell it, he was just having some fun.

"I was just joking around after the game," the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback told reporters Friday.

As Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia relayed, Hurts was asked about playing for the head coach following the win over the Washington Commanders and said, "he's done a great job. I guess he let me out of my straitjacket a little bit today.
