Skip Bayless continued saying, “If ever a player from the losing team deserved Super Bowl MVP – happened once before – Jalen Hurts deserves Super Bowl MVP.” LeBron James who also criticized the call like Skip noted, “Sorry but I don’t like that call! Not for the Super Bowl man!”

In reply, Skip posted on Twitter, “I HATE IT THAT SUCH A GREAT GAME WAS DECIDED BY SUCH A CHEAP BAD TICKY-TACK CALL. LET THE PLAYERS DECIDE A GAME LIKE THIS. JUST SICKENING.” Sunday’s call was definitely controversial as it wasn’t just these two people who called on it, but also NFL fans likewise.

As the Chiefs celebrated their win, the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts reflected on the outcome of the game. He stated, “I think the beautiful part about it is everyone experiences different pain and everyone experiences different agonies of life”. 

“But you decide what you want to learn from it. You decide if you want it to be a teachable moment. I know what I’ll do.” Though Skip Bayless may have been upset over the Eagles’ loss, he compared Patrick Mahomes tongue sticking habit with Michael Jordan’s signature move. 

He tweeted, “I guess Mahomes is turning into Michael Jordan. Now he’s even got the tongue hanging out as he throws. Of course, that can be dangerous.”  Hurts play played an important factor in the team’s reaching the Super Bowl event. They had to blast off New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers to reach the grand stage.

Hurts commented,“I think you want to cherish these moments,” he said. “You want to cherish these moments with the people that you come so far with. Your family, your loved ones, your teammates, your peers, everyone you do it with and do it for.”

“I’m so proud of this team. I’m so proud of this team for everything we’ve been able to overcome. Obviously we had a big time goal at the end that we wanted to accomplish and we came up short.”
