PHILADELPHIA -- Jalen Hurts' father, Averion, was waiting by the field entrance inside the Superdome as the final minutes of Super Bowl LIX ticked off the clock on Sunday.
Occasional roars, whistles and E-A-G-L-E-S chants echoed through the tunnel as Philadelphia put the finishing touches on a resounding 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, and Averion's son was about to be named MVP. Hurts, who had 293 yards and three touchdowns, definitively outdueled Patrick Mahomes. Soon, Averion would make his way onto the field and share a long embrace with his son, green and white confetti under foot.
