🔥 JUST 10 MINUTES AGO: Legendary quarterback Tom Brady broke his silence with a powerful statement, coming to the defense of Jalen Hurts after the intense matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders, which ended with a 17–24 scoreline
The NFL world buzzed with fresh drama as seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady emerged from relative quiet to deliver a passionate, unwavering defense of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in the wake of playoff seeding fallout.
Brady’s statement arrived mere minutes ago, igniting social media and talk shows amid backlash over the Eagles’ surprising Week 18 loss to the Washington Commanders that cost them a higher seed despite resting starters.
The game, a 24-17 defeat at Lincoln Financial Field, saw backups struggle while Hurts sat out, fueling criticism that placed undue pressure on the young star who has carried Philadelphia through a championship-caliber season.
In a fiery rebuke to detractors, Brady called the scrutiny “a crime against football — a blatant betrayal of everything this sport stands for,” highlighting the unfair cruelty directed at a quarterback who consistently elevates his team.
“How can people be so cruel?” Brady continued, praising Hurts for carrying the entire franchise on his shoulders week after week with relentless effort and zero excuses.
The GOAT emphasized Hurts’ quiet leadership, noting he “shows up every week, gives everything he has, asks for no attention, blames no one — simply trying to win,” traits that mirror Brady’s own legendary approach.
Brady went further, declaring Hurts “one of the most special quarterbacks this league has ever seen,” a rare endorsement that silenced doubters and amplified calls for appreciation over constant teardown.
As the Eagles prepare to host the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round, Brady’s timely words rally support behind Hurts, reminding fans and analysts alike that true greatness deserves backing, not endless criticism, in pursuit of another title.
