Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is over the Super Bowl loss in February and he is focused on Sunday's 2023 regular season opener.
"I'm over it," Hurts told Jon Marks and Ike Reese on Tuesday's 94WIP Afternoon Show when asked about the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. "Shoot, we got a game this week. We got a game this week. I'm one thousand percent focused on what is to come."
Hurts, who turned 25 one month ago, is coming off of his best NFL season where he went 14-1 as a starter with 3,701 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions plus another 760 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.
Hurts led the Eagles to the Super Bowl and was magnificent in the biggest game of his life, completing 27 of 38 passes for 304 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 70 yards rushing and 3 rushing TD (103.4 QB Rating), but lost the game to Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs 38-35.
Hurts enters 2023 with MVP expectations, as fans hope to see him cement his name as a top three NFL QB.
"I think expectations and all those things, more opinions that come, they come when you have success and when you're doing something right," Hurts said on Tuesday. "For me, I've been able to focus on my own expectations, and my own standards and my own opinions about things because those are the things that I've always focused on. Everybody has always had an opinion, everybody has always had their thoughts and I've never reported to those things, only my standards.
"I may surprise other people, but I will never surprise myself."
