Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Jalen Hurts was just having fun on Sunday night with his “straitjacket” comment. Hurts had one of his best games in an Eagles uniform in the NFC Championship Game as the Eagles crushed the Commanders 55-23.

It was last August 7 that Jalen Hurts took a seat at training camp in South Philadelphia before a sweaty media gathering and began the questioning himself – of the writers.

Jalen Hurts bizarrely said Nick Sirianni let him out of his 'straitjacket' during Eagles' win over Commanders.

What you should knowThe Eagles will be wearing their home jerseys when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 9.According to sources, Landen Dickerson is expected to be ready to play in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are returning to the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni at the forefront. And both made new history together.

After the bye, the Eagles rattled off 10 straight victories and won 12 of their final 13 regular-season games. The tandem of Sirianni and Hurts has already doubled the one Super Bowl berth that Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb accomplished together.

The difference in the outcome this year just might be Philadelphia’s addition of 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley. Barkley has turned the Eagles’ run game from a concern for the opposition through the last decade to a downright fear. Fear that Barkley can score from anywhere. Fear that Barkley can shift momentum at any time.
