Jalen Hurts completely shrugs off Micah Parsons shading QB

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was unbothered by shade thrown at him by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons certainly didn’t endear himself to the Philadelphia Eagles fanbase. During an appearance on “The Voncast” with Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller, Parsons expressed his belief that what Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been able to do this season was a product of “system and team.”

These comments come as Hurts is a legitimate favorite to win the NFL MVP award. Not to mention, neither team is playing one another until Week 16.

When speaking with the media on Wednesday, Hurts was asked about Parson’s comments made on Miller’s podcast. Hurts responded by saying “We’re worried about the [Chicago] Bears.”

Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata was also asked about Parson’s comments, and while he did say more, he was just as blunt.

“I’m going to worry about the Chicago Bears this week, mate, worry about this game. Micah should worry about his game this week, too. I don’t know who the f— they’re playing, pardon my language. Just worry about who you got this week,” Mailata said, h/t ESPN’s Tim McManus.

“That’s how we do it here. I’m not going to worry about any other comments anybody said. That’s just how we focus and run about our business. We’ve got the Chicago Bears, not the Chicago Micah Parsons.”

These two teams aren’t even facing off this week. The Eagles are taking on the Chicago Bears, while the Cowboys face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams, however, will be in a head-to-head battle on Christmas Eve.

In their first meeting this season, Philadelphia defeated Dallas 26-17 in Week 6. Hurts completed 15-of-25 pass attempts for 155 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys were without Dak Prescott that game, as he was still recovering from a fractured right thumb.

This season, Hurts has recorded 3,157 passing yards, 22 passing touchdowns, three interceptions, 686 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. These numbers, added to the fact that the Eagles are 12-1 on the season, are why Hurts is considered a favorite to win the NFL MVP at the end of the season.

It may not have been this week, but Parsons may have given the Eagles bulletin board material for their Christmas Eve game.
