Nicole Lynn, the agent for Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts, got the last laugh on Sunday when the team won the NFC Championship and advanced to Super Bowl LIX.
Lin hit back at wild remarks made by ESPN NFL analyst Dominic Foxworth earlier in the season following Hurts' four total touchdowns in a 55-23 romp against Washington's commanders.

“That pretty privilege pays off,” she wrote to X.
Hurts was 20-for-28 with 246 passing yards and a touchdown pass, and had 16 rushing yards with three touchdowns. The touchdown pass was thrown to AJ Brown.
Foxworth had described the hurt as having benefited from “pretty much privilege” earlier in the season after firing back at reporters following the team's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hearts were criticized for his passing numbers slipping year on year. He told the media at the time, “That's what they wanted to see.”

“He stood up in the press conference after the game. He acted like Josh Allen,” Foxworth said. “Look at this guy in Kangol who looks like Nino Brown, with $300 million worth of diamonds around his neck, and he's acting like he's done 400 yards for three weeks in a row.
“Man, you've had a good week, and everyone forgets it when he starts batting his eyes at you.”
“Pretty privileged” or not, the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the first time in three years and have to meet a similar nemesis in the Kansas City Chiefs.
