Some of it was the way the Eagles finished last season, turning a 2-5 start into a 9-8 record and a playoff spot.

Some of it was a coaching staff that is smart, savvy, and preaches connection.

Mostly, it was Jalen Hurts.

“I always had confidence in Jalen,” said the veteran center on Friday. “From the moment he has been here, I liked him. And I think we have a lot of really, really good pieces, great coaches, and it doesn’t surprise me at all that Jalen is playing the way he is. I don’t think that’s a surprise.”The Eagles QB was a guest on the ‘New Heights’ podcast Kelce and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, release every Wednesday during the season.

 

“I knew we had a chance to be really good, but I didn’t think we’d be 8-0 at this point,” said Kelce. “Not that I worry about where we’re going to be. You go into every season thinking you’re going to be really good, but I thought with how the team ended last season – the regular season; the playoff game wasn’t very good – it felt like we were really, really close, especially offensively.”
