Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Wins Pete Rozelle Trophy as Super Bowl LIX Most Valuable Player

NEW ORLEANS –– Feb. 9, 2025 –– Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was voted the winner of the Pete Rozelle Trophy awarded to the Super Bowl LIX Most Valuable Player.

Hurts completed 17 of 22 attempts (77.3 percent) for 221 yards and two touchdowns with a 119.7 rating and added 72 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground in the Eagles’ 40-22 victory over the Chiefs, the most rushing yards by a quarterback ever in a Super Bowl. It marks the 34th time that a quarterback has been named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.

Hurts became the fifth quarterback ever with multiple touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in a Super Bowl, joining Ken Anderson (Super Bowl XVI), Pro Football Hall of Famers Brett Favre (Super Bowl XXXI) and Joe Montana (Super Bowl XIX) and Patrick Mahomes (Super Bowl LIV).

Hurts, who had 304 passing yards and 70 rushing yards in Super Bowl LVII, is the first quarterback ever with at least 200 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in multiple Super Bowls. He also became the third quarterback with a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown in multiple Super Bowls, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers John Elway (Super Bowls XXI and XXXIII) and Joe Montana (Super Bowls XVI and XIX).

The award is chosen by a panel comprised of 16 media members – broadcast partner analysts, media from New Orleans, Kansas City, and Philadelphia, Pro Football Writers of America-appointed pool reporters that have attended team practice sessions during Super Bowl week, past Pro Football Writers of America presidents, at-large members of the national media – and fans interactively through the National Football League’s official website, NFL.com.
