Jalen Hurts earned a lot of scorn from Washington Football Team fans Sunday after his Eagles triumphed 20-16 in Landover, Maryland, though he surely made some friends, too.
Following the game, video shows Hurts about to enter the tunnel at FedEx Field before a railing collapses and fans fell onto the field.
The Eagles’ quarterback, who was inches away from getting hit by a slew of falling fans, then helped up the fans.
“I’m just happy everybody’s safe from it,” Hurts said. “It’s crazy—it’s crazy stuff right there. That was a real dangerous situation. I’m just so happy everybody bounced back from it, it seemed like it.
