The Jalen Hurts dynasty: Can he be MVP like Joe Montana?

Jalen Hurts continues to have a flair for drama. Against the Buffalo Bills, four out of his career-high five touchdowns dropped like blockbuster hits after halftime, sealing the deal in a jaw-dropping comeback win for the Eagles. And if that wasn’t enough, Hurts’ 12-yard OT scoring run turned Lincoln Financial Field into a scene straight out of a sports movie. Legendary? You bet.

NFL insider Tony Holtzman-Escareno dropped bombshells on the ‘X’ social media platform, captioned, “Jalen Hurts has won 5 straight games in which his team trailed by 10+ points in (dating back to 2022). This is tied for the longest such streak by any QB since at least 1950. The last QB to do so was HOF Joe Montana from 1989-1990. Montana won NFL MVP & Super Bowl MVP in 1989.

Hurtsmania: Career doubles & victory dances, the Hurts hype is real

Jalen Hurts, the maestro of clutch moments, steers the ship like a seasoned captain. He had four game-winning drives this season alone, doubling down on his career total. That’s a masterclass in late-game heroics. And if you’re talking comebacks, Hurts is in a league of his own. His winning percentage after trailing by 10-plus points (.450) puts him in the company of legends, second only to the wizardry of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, you heard it right. He’s nipping at Mahomes’ cleats.
