Eagles' Sirianni on Jalen Hurts' 'Straitjacket' Remark: 'I Think He Was Having Fun'

The Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC championship on Sunday behind an outstanding performance from Jalen Hurts.

The quarterback threw for 246 yards and a touchdown and added three more scores on the ground, leading to him making an interesting quip about head coach Nick Sirianni after the game.

"I guess he let me out of my straitjacket a little bit today," Hurts told reporters.

Sirianni reacted to Hurts' straitjacket comment on Tuesday, saying that his quarterback was enjoying the moment after punching a ticket to the Super Bowl.

"I think he was having fun after the game," he said, per NBC's Dave Zangaro.

It's unclear exactly what Sirianni did to let Hurts out of his "straitjacket," but it worked well for the Eagles on Sunday. Now, they have a date with the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years.

Hurts and Philadelphia came close to knocking off the Chiefs in 2022, losing 38-35 as Hurts threw for 304 yards and had four total touchdowns. It appeared Hurts wasn't in any kind of "straitjacket" in that matchup, and it's hard to imagine Sirianni will ask him to hold back at all this time around.
