As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, quarterback Jalen Hurts has addressed recent remarks about his head coach, Nick Sirianni. Following the Eagles' NFC Championship victory against the Washington Commanders, Hurts jokingly commented that Sirianni had "let me out of my straitjacket a little bit" when discussing his performance. Hurts later clarified, stating, "I was just joking around after the game."

Sirianni also addressed the comment, emphasizing the team's focus on winning regardless of the specific game plan. He expressed confidence in Hurts' preparation and execution, attributing the quarterback's remark to post-game lightheartedness.

The relationship between Hurts and Sirianni has reportedly seen its share of challenges. Following a strong 10-1 start in the 2023 season, the Eagles struggled, winning only one of their last six games and ultimately losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round. This disappointing finish followed their Super Bowl appearance the previous season.

However, the team's performance has significantly improved in the latter part of the 2024 season and playoffs, culminating in their NFC Championship win and securing a spot in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. The game is scheduled for February 9th at Caesars Superdome and will be broadcast on Tubi in 4K.
