Jalen Hurts’ agent has final say as Eagles clinch NFC title after ‘pretty privileged’ remark
Nicole Lynn, agent for Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts, had the last laugh on Sunday as the team won the NFC Championship and advanced to Super Bowl LIX.
Lynn fired back at a wild remark from ESPN NFL analyst Dominique Foxworth earlier in the season after Hurts totaled four touchdowns in a 55-23 rout of the Washington Commanders.

“That beautiful privilege pays off,” she wrote on X.
Hurts was 20-for-28 with 246 yards passing and a touchdown pass and had 16 rushing yards with three touchdowns. A touchdown pass was thrown to AJ Brown.
Foxworth described Hurts as benefiting from “quite a bit of privilege” earlier in the season after the quarterback fired back at reporters following the team’s win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hurts has been criticized for a year-over-year drop in passing yards. He told the media then, “that’s what they wanted to see?”

“He got up in the press conference after the game and acted like he was Josh Allen,” Foxworth said. “Look at this man with his Kangol looking like Nino Brown…with three thousand million trillion dollars worth of diamonds around his neck, acting like he just threw 400 yards three weeks in a row.
“Man, it’s been a good week. And everyone forgets that when they start rolling their eyes at you.”
“Quite a privilege” or not, the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years and must face a similar foe in the Kansas City Chiefs.
