Jalen Hurts cemented his name in the NFL’s history books after leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Hurts capped off the game with two touchdowns and 221 yards, completing 17-of-22 pass attempts. He also added one touchdown and 72 yards on the ground, serving as the team’s leading rusher.
Hours before Sunday’s game, Spotrac posted on X that Hurts would get a raise of $500,000 per season if the Eagles won the Super Bowl due to an incentive in his contract. Hurts has four years remaining on his current deal, worth $195 million.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, each player who was a part of the Eagles’ Super Bowl run earns a $171k bonus while the Chiefs players earned a $96,000 bonus for their participation in the game. The Eagles capped off the season with an 18-3 record, earning postseason wins over the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs.
Hurts led a dominant Eagles offense all postseason, with the help of arguably the best offensive line in the league and the Offensive Player of the Year in running back Saquon Barkley. Philadelphia scored 135 points in four playoff games, an average of 33.8 points per game.
