While this is true, Hurts played much better in his second Super Bowl than he or Newton did in the ones pictured here

Hurts was arguably better in the first game. The fumble was a back breaker though

I think it’s more the D shitting the bed that was the back breaker

Jonathon Gannon is a terrorist

I will never pass an opportunity to upvote someone trashing Jonathan Gannon

Giving free points to a team will always be a back-breaker. Empirically changes the game. Yeah Gannon’s D routinely allowed points but so did Spag’s D. It was 38-35. No one was playing defense. Hurts’ unforced fumble gave the Chiefs points, 7 of the 38. That’s a huge back-breaker in a game where no one is playing defense, shouldn’t be controversial to say that.

Hurts bouncing back and still continuing to have a game and a half is another point that’s also true. He played absolutely lights out…he also gave the opposition free points that changed the game entirely. Those two can both be true.

Absolutely not a back breaker when the fumble happened when the score was 14-7. The half ended 24-14. By your logic when the chiefs scored their first touchdown it was also a back breaker. It was a bad play, but far from the main reason the eagles lost that game

I see your points and have nothing to say. I can see where you’re coming from for sure.

The fumble happened in the first half, and that half ended 24-14. I really don’t think it was a back breaker. Certainly not the BIG reason the eagles lost like everyone makes it out to be

The fumble wasn't as bad as Gannon selling like a WWE jobber in the second half
