Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts Break Their Silence After Media Firestorm Targeting the Eagles’ Super Bowl MVP

While the whole NFL is buzzing over the controversial quarterback rankings—where somehow, Super Bowl champion Jalen Hurts sits behind Jared Goff—the debate over Hurts’ true status is raging hotter than ever. But the Eagles’ captain has chosen to respond in the calmest, most confident way possible!

Media Piles On, Rumors Swirl

Talk shows, podcasts, and analysts are lining up to throw shade at Hurts: some claim he’s just a product of the Eagles’ system, that “any QB could win in Philly,” and even say he “can’t carry the team without Saquon Barkley and a superstar supporting cast.” Some even question whether Hurts truly deserved the MVP award, suggesting he was just in the right place at the right time.

ESPN’s latest rankings placed Hurts ninth, below quarterbacks who haven’t even sniffed a championship ring—sending Eagles Nation into a frenzy.

But faced with all this noise, Hurts doesn’t even bother to clap back.

“I don’t care about all the talk around me. They just want to use my name for attention with the new season coming up. Don’t say anything—just watch how I fight!”
Hurts answers like a true champion.


Sirianni: “It’s All Nonsense!”

Head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t staying silent amidst this wave of unfair criticism.

“Yeah, that’s all nonsense. Don’t tell me Hurts is just a system guy, or anyone could do what he does with the Eagles. No team wins a championship without great players—Mahomes, Brady, they all had amazing teammates. Football is the ultimate team sport—and Jalen Hurts is the perfect leader!”

Sirianni doubled down, saying all the talk about “anyone could succeed in Philly” is unrealistic and disrespectful to what a real Super Bowl MVP accomplishes.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

In 2024, Hurts completed 68.7% of his passes, threw for 2,903 yards, had 18 passing touchdowns, 630 rushing yards, and 14 rushing touchdowns—putting him among the top dual-threat QBs in the league. And that Super Bowl LIX touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith? A masterpiece, one that even Mahomes would envy!

Jalen Hurts doesn’t need to talk—he lets his play do the talking. Eagles Nation, are you ready to stand by your captain and watch him silence the doubters all over again this season? Drop your support and predictions below!

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
