Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 24-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys in their 2025 season opener on Thursday night. The win was even more special for Hurts since his mentor, Michael Jordan, who is worth $3.8 billion according to Forbes, was in attendance at Lincoln Financial Field.

Hurts also gave a shoutout to Jordan in his post-game press conference.

"When you have a special guest, a special friend in attendance, there's only one thing you can do, and that's to win," Hurts said. "So, I have a lot of love for him."

Hurts spent a lot of time with Jordan in the offseason. The Eagles quarterback now often refers to the NBA legend as his close friend and mentor.

Jordan is recognized as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He won six championships while playing for the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. Hurts will aim to replicate the Bulls' dynasty with the Eagles in the NFL.

Hurts wasn't at his best against the Cowboys. However, he finished with 153 yards on 19-of-23 passing, and 62 yards on 14 carries with 2 TDs as the Eagles kick-started their Super Bowl defense.
