Jalen Hurts rocked a pair of Air Jordan 1 “Unbannable” cleats on Sunday during pregame warmups.
After Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans, the Jordan brand returned the favor with a commercial which will leave everyone on their feet and applauding.
Entitled “Love, Hurts,” the 30-second spot pays homage to the former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback.
“Some people want to hate everything about Jalen Hurts.
“Hate that he’s a winning quarterback. Hate that he’s taken the Eagles to the championship game twice in three years. Hate that he’s a complete athlete.
“And now, they can hate that he’s a champion.”
On Sunday, Hurts threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score on a tush push to earn Super Bowl MVP honors, and Vic Fangio’s defense was so dominant that the Eagles didn’t need much from Saquon Barkley.
He went 17 for 22 for 221 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 72 yards and a touchdown that avenged a Super Bowl loss two years ago against Kansas City.
Hurts was outstanding in that game, throwing for 304 yards and a TD and rushing for 70 yards and three more scores but could only watch as Harrison Butker kicked a go-ahead field goal with 8 seconds left for a 38-35 win.
Hurts turned that year into a $255 million, five-year contract the following offseason.
According to The Associated Press, Hurts is now just the fourth quarterback ever to lose his first Super Bowl start and go on to win one as a starter later in his career, joining Hall of Famers John Elway, Bob Griese and Len Dawson.
