Just when Dallas Cowboys fans thought they were in the free and clear days after Micah Parsons was traded, they are now worried about Jalen Hurts.
An hour before their Thursday night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, head referee Shawn Smith was spotted in a spirited conversation with the Eagles quarterback.
“Cowboys fans posted they are concerned that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was getting HYPED up by head referee Shawn Smith, who also dapped him up,” a post said on X that provided footage of the moment.
That is certainly not a good look.
Newlywed Jalen Hurts enters his first NFL season as a Super Bowl champion and husband. Hurts got married to longtime girlfriend Bry Burrows during the Eagles’ offseason.
The couple initially met when Hurts was the quarterback at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma.
Jalen Hurts And The Eagles Are Primed To Go Back To The Super Bowl
The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will try to achieve something that few teams have in NFL history: winning back-to-back Super Bowls.
The Philadelphia Eagles raise the curtain on the 2025 season as they host the Dallas Cowboys, seven months removed from destroying the Chiefs to lift the Lombardi Trophy last February.
Jalen Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and the Eagles’ roster is primed and ready to return to the big game.
They are the odds-on favorite in the NFC to represent the conference yet again.
The Bills and Ravens are both in search of their first championship, and they are co-favorites to win the 2026 Super Bowl heading into the season.
In the end, the game still has to be played.
