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."

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.
