On Sunday afternoon, Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts added another strong performance to his MVP candidacy, but he doesn’t sound too concerned about the potential of winning the individual award.
Jalen Hurts threw for three touchdown passes and ran for two others – including the game-winning touchdown in overtime – to lift his team to a 37-34 victory over the Buffalo Bills. He’s certainly one of the contenders to win this year’s MVP award, but he’s not concerning himself with that conversation. He just wants to do what he can to help his team.
“That’s not for me to concern or roll with. I just try to go out there and play to the standard and be the best I can be for my team,” Hurts said according to Pro Football Talk. “There were times today I felt like I didn’t do that, but when it mattered most I felt like we did a good job of doing what we needed to do. We played team football, communicated well, and that’s all in the outcome of what happened. We really were on the same page when it mattered most and that’s all you can ask for. Anything else that I’m named or people want to roll with, I guess that’s for them to do so.”
Whether or not he wants to consider the award, Hurts is among the favorites to win it after all he has done for his team this season.
