The coach pounded the podium once, twice, six times in all. He was preaching, and he wanted his message heard. So Nick Sirianni spent the last 100 seconds of his postgame news conference after Sunday’s 24-19 win at Baltimore campaigning for Jalen Hurts to be the NFL’s Most Valuable Player.

So there was Eagles coach Nick Sirianni calling quarterback Jalen Hurts a "game manager" after the Eagles' 24-19 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

While some teams may want their quarterbacks to dominate on the stat sheet, the Eagles are pleased with how Hurts has played with head coach Nick Sirianni even calling the franchise quarterback a league MVP candidate in his own right.
