There was a time Jalen Hurts was benched at halftime of a championship game. He was replaced and ultimately forced to Oklahoma, and now, he’s the first former Sooner quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl championship.
Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 40-22 blowout of two-time defending champions Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.
The win made Hurts the first former OU quarterback that finished his career as a Sooner to ever quarterback an NFL team to a Super Bowl championship.
Troy Aikman won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys but finished his career at UCLA before becoming a top NFL Draft pick and NFL Hall of Famer. Blake Bell also won three titles with the Chiefs, and although he played quarterback at OU, he finished his career as a tight end and that’s what position he played for the Chiefs.
Hurts was simply spectacular Sunday with fellow OU alumni Lane Johnson blocking for him on the offensive line. Hurts out-dueled Patrick Mahomes and completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He also rushed for a team-high 72 yards on 11 carries with another score.
