Eagles fans' roar confirms legacy as Jalen Hurts responds to critics' narrative

Jalen Hurts knows the sound. It’s the rumble that starts low in the Philly belly... then rises like a summer thunderstorm rolling off the Delaware. That familiar roar found him again this week, not from 70,000 on a Sunday, but echoing from the eager shouts of the Darby Monarchs and Collingdale United kids. Their pure, unfiltered energy?

It hit differently. It felt like confirmation, a primal shout echoing something deeper than stats. Meanwhile, for Hurts, the offseason chatter was just noise.

Critics dissected the Eagles' Super Bowl run like a Monday morning quarterback slicing film. They pointed fingers, suggesting the win came despite him, not because of him.
