Jalen Hurts leads Philadelphia Eagles back to Super Bowl: ‘Don’t doubt him’

As he held the George Halas Trophy emblematic of the NFC championship on Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni yelled at CBS Sports’ Terry Bradshaw: “How about our quarterback?”

The Eagles had just defeated the Washington Commanders 55-23 to win the conference crown for the second time in three seasons and punched their ticket to Super Bowl LIX.

“How about our quarterback?” Sirianni said at the awards ceremony. “He’s a stud. I knew he was going to play that way. I knew it. Don’t doubt him. All he does is win.”

Against Washington, Hurts completed 20-of-28 passes for 246 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and ran 10 times for 16 yards and three touchdowns – a performance that Sirianni described as “awesome.”

Hurts became the first player in NFL history with two playoff games with three touchdowns runs and one touchdown pass and surpassed Steve Young’s NFL record for the most postseason rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.

But the former Alabama standout also recorded his second game with at least 200 passing yards in his past eight outings. His lack of the big passing numbers that he has had in the past – 13 300-yard passing games before the 2024 season – has caused concern and questions about his play.

“It’s amazing how much doubt there is sometimes,” Sirianni said. “I can’t quite comprehend it. It doesn’t look like people think it should look like, but the guy has been clutch. He’s won a ton of football games. ‘But you ran for this many yards.’ We don’t care how we win. We don’t care. If we rush for 300 and pass for 1 and we win, great. If we rush for 1 and pass for 300, great. Who cares? We’ve just continued to win. He’s just continued to win.

“I think the criticism is whatever. He just wins. And I said what I said after the game, and that’s kind of how I feel.”

Philadelphia ran for 229 yards against the Commanders, and the Eagles’ seven rushing touchdowns tied the record for an NFL playoff game – a mark set by the Chicago Bears in a 73-0 victory over Washington in the 1940 NFL Championship Game.

“I don’t play the game for stats,” Hurts said. “I don’t play the game for numbers, any statistical approval from anyone else. I understand that everyone has a preconceived notion on how they want it to look or how they expect it to look. And I told you guys that success is defined by that particular individual. It’s all relative to the person. And what I define it as is winning. The No. 1 goal is always to come out here and win.”

After becoming the ninth player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season, Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley picked up 118 against the Commanders, starting with a 60-yard touchdown run on the first snap for the Eagles’ offense after Hurts checked into the play.

“I made an adjustment,” Hurts said. “I had to get us situated, get us to the right play.”

Barkley also ran for a touchdown on his second touch, but Washington trailed only 14-12 when Philadelphia faced a fourth-and-5 at the Commanders 45-yard line. Instead of punting, the Eagles went for it, and Hurts connected with wide receiver AJ Brown for a 31-yard gain.

“Just two guys being on the same page,” Hurts said. “Having a negative play the play before and coach having the trust in us to bring it home. Haven’t had too many of those this year, but the good things come right on time.”

Four snaps later, Hurts scored his first touchdown on a sneak to give Philadelphia a 20-12 lead with 1:44 left in the first half.

After Washington fumbled away the kickoff, Hurts threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brown as the Eagles went up by 15 points with 39 seconds left in the first half.

The TD pass came on a third-down snap. On third down on Sunday, Hurts completed 5-of-6 passes for 43 yards with three first downs and one touchdown, and two more third-down passes drew defensive pass interference penalties for first downs. One of the DPI penalties put the football on the Washington 1-yard line to set up Hurts’ third rushing touchdown.

Hurts also had two third-down rushing attempts – a pair of sneaks that produced first downs.

Philadelphia has lost once since Sept. 29. Washington defeated the Eagles 36-33 on Dec. 22. But Hurts didn’t make it to halftime of that game, leaving in the second quarter with a concussion.

Hurts entered Sunday’s game nursing a left-knee injury sustained in last week’s 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. The quarterback was a limited participant in Wednesday practice before returning to full participation.

“It was challenging,” Hurts said being able to play on Sunday. “In some ways, exhausting dealing with a little sickness as well. It was a group effort.”

The victory advanced Philadelphia to Super Bowl LIX at 5:30 p.m. CST Feb. 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The Eagles’ opponent will be the winner of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.

Philadelphia lost to the Chiefs 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII to end the 2022 season. Hurts threw for 304 yards and one touchdown and ran for 70 yards and three touchdowns in that game.

ICE making arrests in Atlanta: ‘My brother is not a criminal,’ immigrant’s family says

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Sunday made arrests in metro Atlanta and elsewhere.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with federal partners including the FBI, ATF and DEA, began conducting enhanced targeted operations today in Atlanta to enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety and national security by keeping potentially dangerous criminal aliens out of our communities,” an agency spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Some arrests took place on Buford Highway in Chamblee and Brookhaven, Telemundo reported. Others happened in Lilburn and Tucker, community members told the AJC.

The FBI Atlanta Field Office said in a statement, “The FBI, along with our Department of Justice partners, is assisting DHS and other federal law enforcement partners with their immigration enforcement efforts.”

It’s not clear how many arrests were made. The AJC is seeking details from federal agencies and local police. ICE also announced “targeted operations” in Chicago on Sunday.

Walter Valladares, 52, originally from Honduras, was arrested at his home in Lilburn, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, on Sunday morning, his brother Edwin Valladares told the AJC.

Walter Valladares entered the U.S. about a year and a half ago, was in the process of seeking asylum and has no criminal record except for a traffic violation, Edwin Valladares said.

“My brother is not a criminal,” he said. “He is a family man.”

President Donald Trump’s first days in office ushered in a flurry of policy changes, including his promised immigration crackdown. He has issued executive orders seeking to halt birthright citizenship — a measure temporarily blocked by a federal judge — and remove people who are in the country unlawfully under an expedited process.

On his second day in office, Trump rescinded policies that kept federal immigration officials from arresting undocumented immigrants in sensitive locations such as churches, hospitals and schools.

Since Trump took office, ICE has made more than 1,400 arrests nationwide, the agency said.

Some of metro Atlanta’s largest school districts have addressed community concerns of students’ safety in schools.

“Considering recent federal actions, I want to assure you that the Board of Education and I remain committed to the safety and success of all students in the DeKalb County School District,” Superintendent Devon Q. Horton said in a recent message to parents.

“We have informed our staff that if immigration authorities visit their school, they should be directed immediately to a school administrator, who will then contact the DCSD Police Department and document the visit. As with any unauthorized visitor, entrance beyond the main office and access to students or their information is prohibited without a court order or exigent circumstances.”

Gwinnett County superintendent Calvin J. Watts said a in a message to parents that “by law, a child’s immigration status (or that of their parents) does not affect their right to receive a public education” and assured them that “we stand united in our responsibility to uphold the dignity, rights and safety of each and every student.”

Alabama hotel housekeepers save kidnapped teenaged girl from sexual abuse

A teen girl was rescued by housekeepers at Dothan hotel after authorities say a 46-year-old man forced the girl into a room Sunday afternoon.

Hotel housekeepers saw the abduction, removed the teen from the room, and called 911. The suspect was quickly taken into custody.

Steven Ayers is charged with first-degree kidnapping and first-degree sexual abuse.

Just after 1 p.m., Dothan police responded of a report of a possible kidnapping at a hotel in the 2100 block of Ross Clark Circle.

When officers arrived, employees told officers about a man forcing a female into a hotel room. The housekeepers intervened and rescued the girl, who is under the age of 18, said Police Chief William Benny.

Police attempted to make contact with the suspect, but he fled on foot on the second floor of the hotel.

Officers were able to quickly surround him and take him into custody.

The victim told police that Ayers had made sexual advances toward her, which she refused.

Ayers then touched the victim inappropriately, and she tried to leave the area. That is when police say Ayers grabbed the girl from behind and forced her into a hotel room.

Authorities said Ayers and the victim did not know each other.

Ayers is being held without bond in the Houston County Jail.

“Crimes like these will not be tolerated,’’ Benny said. “The Dothan Police Department will hold those who commit these crimes accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

NFL playoffs: Jalen Hurts sets record as Eagles advance to Super Bowl

Jalen Hurts set the NFL career record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in the playoffs as the Philadelphia Eagles advanced to Super Bowl LIX by beating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

With three touchdown runs, Hurts boosted his total to nine in eight postseason games. The former Alabama QB surpassed the record of eight rushing touchdowns established by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young in 22 playoff contests.

Two players have had three rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown in a single NFL playoff game – and Hurts has done it twice after Sunday’s game. The first to do so was Cleveland Browns quarterback Otto Graham in a 56-10 victory over the Detroit Lions in the 1954 NFL Championship Game. Hurts did it in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12, 2023, when the Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35.

Hurts’ first two touchdowns came in the back-breaking final two minutes for the first half for Washington. The quarterback scored on a 1-yard sneak as Philadelphia took a 20-12 lead with 1:44 left in the first half.

The Eagles then got possession on the Commanders 24-yard line when Washington fumbled away the kickoff. Hurts cashed in the turnover with a 4-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver AJ Brown with 39 seconds left in the first half.

Hurts opened the second-half scoring with a 9-yard touchdown run as Philadelphia went in front 34-15 with 8:58 left in the third quarter.

Hurts scored his final TD on another quarterback sneak with 12:24 remaining. The score came on the sixth trip to the line of scrimmage at the Washington 1-yard line. The Commanders got an offside penalty before Hurts fumbled the snap. Then came three consecutive encroachment penalties against Washington, with the officials warning the Commanders that another such penalty would result in Philadelphia being awarded a touchdown. Hurts then went into the end zone.

Hurts completed 20-of-28 passes for 246 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and ran 10 times for 16 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts played his ninth straight game without an interception. Philadelphia had no turnovers in the game while Washington lost four – three fumbles and an interception.

Hurts entered the game after sustaining a knee injury in last week’s Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He had been a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Philadelphia got 118 yards and three touchdowns on 15 rushing attempts by running back Saquon Barkley, who scored the first two times he touched the football. On the Eagles’ first snap of the game, Barkley ran 60 yards for a touchdown, and he went in from 4 yards out about four minutes later in the first quarter.

Philadelphia’s seven touchdown runs tied a playoff record set by the Chicago Bears in the 1940 NFL Championship Game. The Eagles’ point total on Sunday was the highest in a conference-championship game in the NFL’s AFC/NFC era.

In addition to Hurts, 12 more players from Alabama high schools and colleges got on the field during the Washington-Philadelphia game:

  • Jonathan Allen (Alabama) started at defensive tackle for the Commanders. Allen made five tackles and recorded one tackle for loss.
  • Reed Blankenship (West Limestone) started at safety for the Eagles. Blankenship made seven tackles and recovered one fumble. Blankenship recovered a fumble at the Washington 48-yard line with 5:45 left in the first quarter to set up a Philadelphia touchdown.
  • Eagles fullback Khari Blasingame (Buckhorn) did not record any stats. Philadelphia elevated Blasingame from its practice squad and to make him eligible to play.
  • Eagles defensive back James Bradberry (Pleasant Grove, Samford) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.
  • Landon Dickerson (Alabama) started at center for the Eagles. Normally Philadelphia’s left guard, Dickerson moved to center with Cam Jurgens ailing with a back injury. However, a knee injury prevented Dickerson from playing in the second half, and Jurgens reassumed the duty.
  • Eagles offensive lineman Jack Driscoll (Auburn) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.
  • Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff (St. Paul’s Episcopal) did not record any stats.
  • Noah Igbinoghene (Hewitt-Trussville, Auburn) started at cornerback for the Commanders. Igbinoghene made three tackles.
  • Eagles linebacker Nicholas Morrow (Huntsville) made one tackle. Philadelphia elevated Morrow from its practice squad to make him eligible to play.
  • Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne (Shades Valley, Alabama) was designated as a game-day inactive. After 88 consecutive starts for Washington, Payne could not play because of knee and finger injuries.
  • Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves (South Alabama) did not record any stats.
  • Eagles cornerback Eli Ricks (Alabama) was designated as a game-day inactive.
  • Brian Robinson Jr. (Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa, Alabama) started at running back for the Commanders. Robinson ran for 36 yards on 11 carries.
  • Trent Scott (Lee-Huntsville) started at right guard for the Commanders. Normally, Washington’s top backup at offensive tackle, Scott stepped into the lineup after Commanders guard Sam Cosmi sustained a knee injury in Washington’s Divisional Round victory over the Detroit Lions.
  • DeVonta Smith (Alabama) started at wide receiver for the Eagles. Smith had four receptions for 45 yards.
  • Tyler Steen (Alabama) started at left guard for the Eagles. With Landon Dickerson sliding over to center with Cam Jurgens injured, Steen went into the Philadelphia lineup at left guard.
  • Eagles tight end C.J. Uzomah (Auburn) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.
  • Eagles defensive tackle Byron Young (Alabama) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.

Philadelphia will play the winner of the AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX at 5:30 p.m. CST Feb. 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

CBS host asks what ‘the Alabamas’ will do without FEMA: ‘Hilarious elitism,’ Mississippi governor says

Alabama may be negatively impacted if President Donald Trump goes ahead with his plan to either eliminate or overhaul the Federal Emergency Management Agency, CBS’s Margaret Brennan told Vice President JD Vance in an interview on “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

In the interview, Brennan said: “But FEMA has specialized expertise that some of these states just don’t have in their arsenal, and states who are lower income states – the Mississippis, the Kentuckys, the Alabamas – will they be able to do this for themselves without federal help?”

The three states rank in the bottom 10 states in per capita income.

Vance said Trump aims to cut bureaucratic red tape.

“The president, to be clear, is not saying we’re going to leave anybody behind,” Vance said.

“He’s saying that in the way that we administer these resources, some of which is coming from the federal level, some of which is coming from the state level, we’ve got to get the bureaucrats out of the way and get the aid to the people who need it most.”

Trump visited California and North Carolina on Friday to assess recent fire and flood damage. He spoke with residents and officials about potential changes to FEMA.

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves described Brennan’s remarks as “hilarious elitism” in a response on X, formerly called Twitter.

Reeves said Brennan claimed that “Mississippians know less about emergency management than DC bureaucrats – all because her favorite Democrats in CA and NC have failed their constituents.

“The disdain these people have for any Americans outside of their little bubble is so pathetic and revealing,” Reeves added.

However, the bonus only lasts for a week and you’ll want cash in your account when the funds dry up. The Chiefs are only a 1.5-point favorite, and I recommend backing Kansas City.

We’ve seen this movie before. Since 2021, Kansas City has come out on top in all three postseason meetings with the Bills. The Chiefs’ defense has dominated all season and tallied eight sacks in the Divisional Round.

QB Patrick Mahomes doesn’t always post flashy numbers in the playoffs, but he finds a way to win. Mahomes is 16-3 in the postseason and his last playoff loss at Arrowhead Stadium was in 2022.

Oddsmakers’ early picks for 2028 presidential election show White House race already heating up

Donald Trump was sworn in just less than a week ago as the 47th President of the United States, and if Andy Ogles has things his way he might be the 48th, too.

That, however, is unlikely to happen.

Instead, with Trump now in his second term, it looks like 2028 will feature someone new running on the Republican ticket. It may also feature a new challenger on the Democratic ticket.

And believe it or not there are already betting odds out on who will win the next presidential election.

Bet365 has released odds via Covers and it currently has Vice President JD Vance as the favorite to win it all at +250. But there are some interesting names right behind him.

Democrats Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro are tied for second most likely to win the presidency at +1000 followed by Democrat Pete Buttigieg at +1400.

Democrats Michelle Obama and Gretchen Whitmer, and Republicans Vivek Ramaswamy and Donald Trump Jr. are all tied at +1600.

Three more Republicans — Ron DeSantis, Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard — and Kamala Harris close it out with +2000 odds.

Benzinga reported that Nikki Haley is also listed at +4000 and Hillary Clinton is listed at +5000.

The site also reported that BetMGM has listed odds, too.

It also has Vance as the favorite at +275 followed by Newsom (+650) and Shapiro and Michelle Obama each at +800.

BetMGM also has a few different names on the list with Ivanka Trump listed at +2000 odds and Alexandra Ocasio-Ortiz at +2500.
