Bradley Cooper sings Jalen Hurts’ praises: ‘This guy’s just a killer’

Bradley Cooper is celebrating his Philadelphia Eagles’ 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans on Sunday.

The 50-year-old actor was at the game with daughter Lea De Seine, 7.

“I’m just one of thousands and thousands that get the opportunity to love this team and live for this team, be a part of Philadelphia,” Cooper told Fox after the game. “I used to come with my dad and now I get to bring my daughter, it’s just a beautiful thing in life.”

“Ah men, he deserves it,” Cooper said. “You know people are always saying this and that. This guy is just a killer. It’s the best.”

On Sunday, Hurts threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score on a tush push to earn Super Bowl MVP honors, and Vic Fangio’s defense was so dominant that the Eagles didn’t need much from Saquon Barkley.

He went 17 for 22 for 221 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 72 yards and a touchdown that avenged a Super Bowl loss two years ago against Kansas City.

Hurts was outstanding in that game, throwing for 304 yards and a TD and rushing for 70 yards and three more scores but could only watch as Harrison Butker kicked a go-ahead field goal with 8 seconds left for a 38-35 win.

According to The Associated Press, Hurts is now just the fourth quarterback ever to lose his first Super Bowl start and go on to win one as a starter later in his career, joining Hall of Famers John Elway, Bob Griese and Len Dawson.
