Jalen Hurts Trolled Scott Van Pelt On ‘SportsCenter’ After Eagles Beat Commanders

On November 16, 2024By Littum

The Philadelphia Eagles put together a statement win on Thursday Night Football, knocking off the Washington Commanders to move to 8-2 on the season and put themselves in the driver’s seat for an NFC East crown.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts led a balanced attack as he threw for 221 yards with a team-high 228 yards on the ground. With the win, the Eagles are now just a half game behind the Detroit Lions for the best record in the conference and appear to have put some early season hiccups behind them.

So Hurts was understandably in a fun, playful mood when he joined Scott Van Pelt for one SportsCenter interview after the match. He wore sunglasses so he could put Van Pelt, a DMV native and Commanders fan, under the bright lights.

“Hey Scott, how are you?” Hurts asked Van Pelt. “How are you, you’re a DMV guy?”

Van Pelt took the ribbing and said he was fine and that Washington would get another crack at the Eagles in a few weeks. Which is fair because who among us had Jayden Daniels and the Commanders competing for a playoff spot at this point in the season?
