One of the more poignant moments of the Eagles’ historic 2024 season occurred mere minutes after their final game ended, on the makeshift podium out in the middle of the Caesars Superdome. It’s when Jalen Hurts blotted everything out swirling around him, including midnight green-and-white confetti, and looked down at a reflection of himself in the Lombardi Super Bowl trophy he held in his hands. It’s when it dawned on the fifth-year, 26-year-old quarterback that he did it.
He was a Super Bowl champion.
The Eagles were world champions.
It came in sharp contrast to Hurts’ cell phone wallpaper of him walking off the field under raining red-and-yellow Kansas City Chiefs confetti two years ago in the Eagles’ Super Bowl loss.
