It’s a good thing Jalen Hurts’ day job is pretty secure with the Philadelphia Eagles headed to the Super Bowl.
On Sunday, the Eagles bested the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship Game to book their ticket to Arizona. It wasn’t a pretty game by any means, but Hurts and the Eagles were able to carve up the usually stout 49ers defense for 269 yards by game’s end for the victory.
After the game, despite Terry Bradshaw nearly ruining the moment, Hurts took the opportunity to sing the Eagles fight song — “Fly, Eagles Fly” — with fans and, well, I’ll let you hear how it went.

Look, no hate at all to Hurts. If given the microphone I’d do a terrible job singing the Eagles fight song, as I’m a real bad singer. Hurts’ talents definitely lie elsewhere, as showed by his towering NFL MVP odds, but there’s no denying his passion for the city of Philadelphia and for his teammates.
NFL fans, on the other hand, had notes after Hurts’ valiant performance.
well i guess jalen hurts cant be beautiful, a good quarterback, *and* be able to sing lol

Jalen Hurts can do anything. Except sing. This is why he wasn’t on the Eagles’ Christmas album. #NFL

When people ask “what can’t jalen hurts do” now I think you can confidently say he can’t sing

It’s a good thing Jalen’s a QB and not a singer 😂😂😂

It didn’t matter how pitchy or off key he sang.
Hearing Jalen Hurts sing “FLY EAGLES FLY” during the postgame celebration – with teammates and thousands of fans – was glorious music to the ears of every Philly fan.
