The Philadelphia Eagles have pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts at the end of Super Bowl LIX and replaced him with Kenny Pickett.
However, this wasn’t because Hurts was playing poorly. In fact, it was just the opposite.

The Eagles destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs, leading 40-14 at the two minute warning.
This was largely because of how well Hurts performed against the Kansas City defense, completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also rushed 11 times for 72 yards.
Needless to say, it’s more than unlikely the Chiefs will make this comeback.
