Jalen Hurts praises Russell Wilson after the Eagles defeated the Steelers.
A boom mic directly over Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as they embrace after the Eagles beat the Steelers , 27-13, Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024, in Philadelphia. Hurts told Wilson as the two shook hands. “I watched you my whole childhood,” Hurts told Wilson . “You paved the way.” Hurts had just finished off what might have been his finest work of the season and now he was shaking hands with one of his boyhood idols.
An hour or so later, Hurts pretty much repeated those words about Wilson when he was asked a question about also chatting with Tom Brady, the NFL G.O.A.T. who broadcast “Tons of respect for him, competing against him even,” Hurts said about Brady. “I didn’t know he was doing the game, so that was kind of cool.” The typically buttoned-down Hurts, obviously feeling good after throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns in a win over one of the league’s best defensive teams, did something rare for him after that answer. “Someone asked me a couple of weeks ago about head-to-head matchups, I think it was versus (Baltimore’s) Lamar (Jackson),” Hurts said. “And I think that’s something you reflect on later on. In the moment, you ... try to keep it as team, team, team. It’s just always about the team. And you look back at that and reflect, you take a step back. You see a ton of kids out there watching Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson go at it, and that’s what they see. All eyes on them.” For young Jalen Hurts, the eyes were on Wilson, who, at 36, is 10 years older than the Eagles quarterback. Hurts was 15 when Wilson, in his second season, led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl win over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at Met Life Stadiu
