PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts can conduct a singalong about as well as he can orchestrate the kind of punishing scoring drives that have the Philadelphia Eagles headed to the Super Bowl.
At the end of one more triumph, Hurts stood on the stage on the field — his teammates were busy passing around the NFC championship trophy — and clutched a microphone in front of what was suddenly Philadelphia’s largest karaoke joint. His rendition of the team fight song was a tad off-key.
Hurts may not sing as well as he can score, but it was another memorable moment in a season full of them. And the Eagles don’t believe they’re done yet.
“We’ve got new moments,” Hurts said. “New moments and new times.”
Hurts provided one of Philadelphia’s four rushing touchdowns, and the Eagles soared into the NFL’s title game, forcing both of San Francisco’s quarterbacks out of Sunday’s NFC championship game with injuries and beating the wounded 49ers 31-7.
