Fans on social media went crazy with their reactions.
"Dude don't like Hurts All he's doing is blocking while Hurts is running and getting pushed in the a**," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"That's the script for the inevitable Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl," another user added.
Jason Kelce Comes to Nick Sirianni's Defense
The Eagles were slow out of the gates to start the season. After four games, they were 2-2 and didn't look like a team with the makings of a title contender. But after a pedestrian start the Eagles have caught fire, and so far, no team has been able to put the flame out, as they ended the season as NFC East champions.
But despite the Eagles' recent string of success, people have still been critical of their head coach Nick Sirianni, most notably the fact that he does not call the plays for the Eagles anymore. But former Eagles center Jason Kelce doesn't believe the criticism that Sirianni has faced is fair, noting that Detroit Lions head coach, Dan Campbell, doesn't receive the same criticism.
"I think the big thing people question with Nick is like, 'What does he do?' Especially now that he's not a play-caller," Kelce said on the 94WIP Morning Show. "And I just think there's a number of coaches that do this now, Dan Campbell being one of them. And people really don't question what Dan Campbell does for the Lions."
Kelce also noted that just because Sirianni is no longer the play-caller, doesn't mean his value to the Eagles has diminished.
"I know that's not as easy and transparent as calling plays and whether he is good or bad at that. But I think that has tremendous value," he added.
"For the most part, he's been really, really good at that through his career...You've got to give him some credit for—I don't know who made the hires or whatever. He's been the head coach through Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio coming on and these new additions and they've lost two games this year."
