“Jalen Hurts needs to become a star this weekend”- Kyle Brandt ahead of Eagles vs Buccaneers in NFC wildcard matchup

Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles who are led by young promising QB Jalen Hurts will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by the ‘mighty’ Tom Brady in their NFC wildcard matchup at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Tom Brady who would be looking forward to another trip to the Super Bowl will face his first test in the path against the young talented Jalen Hurts who would also be looking for a win in his playoff debut after a nice strong season for the Eagles franchise. Famous NFL Analyst Kyle Brant believes that in order for the Eagles to have any chance of winning against the Bucs, Jalen Hurts has to put up a sensational performance which he is well capable of.

Jalen Hurts wasn't about to glorify Tom Brady. Asked his earliest memory of Brady, he said, "I don't remember."

“Jalen Hurts should be the story of weekend”- Kyle Brandt

Kyle Brandt believes “Jalen Hurts is a star who can rush for 150 yards and also throw for 300 yards and he needs to pull up with his best game to lead the Eagles to the victory and cause this big upset. He should be the story of the weekend.” Brandt wants the QB to surprise everyone in his playoff debut and play to his potential and get the win for his franchise so that he can be viewed as the long-term QB for the Eagles.

20-30 mph winds is gonna shut down both teams passing game. It’s gonna come down to who can run the ball better and that is the eagles

Jalen Hurts who has been really good so far has led the Eagles to the playoffs with a record of 9-8 and on Sunday will become the youngest quarterback ever to start a playoff game.

Hurts so far in this season has thrown for 3144 yards with 16 touchdowns and 9 interceptions while also rushing for 784 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns and will hope to play his A-game in his playoff debut against the Bucs.

Jalen Hurts will be right up against the best playoff performer in the NFL: Tom Brady, who himself would be hoping of having a big game and leading his team to the next round of playoffs as he has his sights set on another Super Bowl after winning his 7th last season.

Jalen Hurts is 23. Tom Brady 44

This will be the biggest age gap between starting QBs in NFL playoff history
