Jalen Hurts' agent has final say as Eagles win NFC title after 'pretty privileged' comment

Nicole Lynn, the agent for Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts, had the last laugh Sunday when the team won the NFC Championship to advance to Super Bowl LIX.

Lynn responded to a wild comment made by ESPN NFL analyst Dominique Foxworth earlier in the season following Hurts' four total touchdowns in a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders.

“That beautiful privilege paid off,” he wrote in X.

Hurts was 20 of 28 with 246 passing yards and a touchdown pass and had 16 rushing yards with three touchdowns. The touchdown pass was thrown to AJ Brown.

Foxworth had described Hurts as someone who had benefited from “pretty much privilege” earlier in the season after the quarterback responded to reporters following the team's win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hurts had been criticized for his passing numbers dropping year after year. He told the media at the time: “Is that what you wanted to see?”

“He stood up at the press conference after the game and acted like he was Josh Allen,” Foxworth said. “Look at this guy in his Kangol who looks like Nino Brown… with three billion trillion dollars worth of diamonds around his neck, and he acts like he just ran 400 yards for three weeks straight.

“Man, you had a good week. And everyone forgets it when they start blinking at you.”

“Nice privilege” or not, the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years and have to face a similar foe in the Kansas City Chiefs.
