Jalen Hurts breaks and makes records in Super Bowl LVII
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made his Super Bowl debut by breaking the record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in the big game.
Jalen Hurts showed that he not only has a great throwing arm but mighty legs as well when he broke a 23-year-old record for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in the Super Bowl.
Steve McNair had a total of 64 yards tallied on the ground in Super Bowl XXXIV, but Hurts surpassed it in the third quarter of the championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a two-yard run, after racking up 63 yards in the first half.
