Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a one-of-a-kind game in Super Bowl LVII. On Sunday, the former Alabama standout become the only player to have at least 300 passing yards, 70 rushing yards and three touchdown runs in the same game. Hurts also threw a touchdown pass in the game.

Before Sunday, there had been only three games in NFL history in which a player passed for 300 yards and ran for three touchdowns – and Hurts had one of those on Dec. 18 in a 25-20 victory over the Chicago Bears.

Hurts tied the record for rushing touchdowns in a Super Bowl, which had been established by running back Terrell Davis in the Denver Broncos’ 31-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII on Jan. 25, 1998. Hurts became the second quarterback to run for three touchdowns in an NFL playoff game, joining Otto Graham, who had three in the Cleveland Browns 56-10 victory over the Detroit Lions in the NFL Championship Game on Dec. 26, 1954.

But on Sunday, the Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35.

“If there were any doubters left, there shouldn’t be now,” Kansas City QB and Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes said about Hurts’ performance. “The way he stepped up on this stage and ran, threw the ball, whatever it took for his team to win, I mean, that was a special performance. I don’t want it to get lost in the loss that they had. Even when we got all the momentum in that game and we went up eight points in the fourth quarter, he responded and moved his team right down the field and ran it in himself and the 2-point conversion. It was a special performance by him. You make sure you appreciate that when you look back on this game.”

The Chiefs trailed 24-14 at halftime, but they scored every time they had the football in the second half.

After Kansas City went ahead 35-27 with 9:22 to play, Hurts led Philadelphia on an eight-play, 75-yard drive. Hurts had a 2-yard run on third-and-1 and an 11-yard completion on third-and-4 to keep the drive going before connecting with wide receiver DeVonta Smith on a deep pass for a 45-yard gain to the Chiefs 2-yard line.

Hurts ran for his third touchdown of the game from there, then bulled into the end zone again on a 2-point conversion run to tie the score with 5:15 to play.

But the Philadelphia offense didn’t get the football again until only six seconds remained in the game.

“It’s something that I know that’ll motivate me,” Hurts said. “I’ve been here before.”

Hurts completed 27-of-38 passes for 304 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and ran for 70 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. He also scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter and a 4-yard run in the second quarter.

Hurts broke the Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Steve McNair had set the mark with 64 yards on eight carries in the Tennessee Titans’ 23-16 loss to the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV on Jan. 30, 2000.

Hurts’ touchdown pass was a 45-yard throw to wide receiver A.J. Brown as Philadelphia took a 14-7 lead on the first snap of the second quarter.

“To me, Jalen played the best game I’ve seen him play in the two years we’ve been together,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “He was outstanding. I really thought he was in complete control. He did things with his legs in the run game. He did things with his arm in the pass game. Made some unbelievable throws, unbelievable reads. I thought he played outstanding.”

But Hurts also lost a fumble that Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton recovered and returned 36 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.

“I always hold myself to a very high standard in everything that I do,” Hurts said. “Obviously, I try to control the things that I can. I touch the ball every play, so, obviously, you want to protect it. But it did hurt us. You never know what play it’ll be, but it hurt us. You look back and you’re going to reflect on the things that maybe you could have done something more. Maybe you could have done something to change the outcome of the game. That’s the way it was.”

Philadelphia had a 14-3 record in the regular season, the best in the NFC. Hurts missed two games because of a sprained shoulder sustained in the victory over Chicago, and the Eagles lost both those contests. Sunday’s defeat was Philadelphia’s second loss in 18 games with Hurts under center this season.

“I will say I’m so proud of this team for everything we’ve been able to overcome,” Hurts said. “Obviously, we had a big-time goal in the end that we wanted to accomplish, and we came up short. I think the beautiful part about it is everyone experiences different pains, everyone experiences different agonies of life, but you decide if you want to learn from it. You decide if you want to use that to be a teachable moment. I know what I’ll do. …

“You either win or you learn. That’s how I feel. You either win or you learn. As always, win, lose or draw, I always reflect on the things that I could have done better, things we could have done better to try and take that next step. That’ll be the same process that goes on now.”
