Jalen Hurts’ mother is sending a message.
A favorite son of Houston returned Thursday night and made history for Philadelphia. Ahead of this season and the last, there were questions as to whether Jalen Hurts would be the Philadelphia Eagles’ long-term starter at quarterback. By the end of the night Jalen Hurts had quarterbacked the Eagles to the greatest start in the franchise’s 90-year history.
In a victorious homecoming for the Houston native, Hurts threw two touchdowns to help the Eagles to a 29-17 win over the Houston Texans and the franchise’s first 8-0 start. The 24-year-old downplayed the historic note, though, as he believes there is much yet to achieve and plenty to improve upon.
“I know it’s special for the city of Philadelphia,” Hurts, who was 21 of 27 for 243 yards, told reporters after the game. “I mean, I’ve been 8-0 before and lost the national championship. Just take it day by day. Take it day by day. We haven’t accomplished anything yet. It’s a day-by-day thing of us controlling things we can, playing to our standard and trying to grow every day. I think that’s truly what it’s about.”
Jalen Hurts’ mother was also keeping busy during the game, she was tweeting a message to all the women who want a piece of her son.
“Mama Hurts, I don’t know how to tell you this, but I love your son!”

Jalen Hurts has improved in each of his three NFL seasons and the Eagles have as well over the last two. It began last year when they finished the regular season at 9-8 and sneaked into the playoffs. And now they’ve long been the last undefeated team standing and are off to a franchise-best start. But despite all the hoopla of being the homecoming king and leading the charge into history, Hurts’ fondest memory from Thursday night will be his mother saying he’s taken.
Jalen Hurts’ Mother is one proud mama.
