Anita Baker to perform national anthem before Eagles-49ers NFC Championship Game

Eagles star QB and MVP candidate Jalen Hurts loves Anita Baker and she’ll be performing the National Anthem before Sunday’s NFC Championship Game

Jalen Hurts is a smooth quarterback with an old soul, and most days the Eagles star prefers listening to an R&B legend.

After Philadelphia’s 25-20 win over the Bears, the great Pam Oliver asked Hurts how he’d be celebrating a hard-fought victory in the frigid Chicago temperatures.

Hurts responded by saying that he was going to listen to Anita Baker on the flight home and enjoy his teammates before starting preparation for a Christmas Eve showdown against Dallas.

Word trickles down in social media and the soulful Baker congratulated Hurts on his solid performance after the MVP candidate went 22-37 passing for 315 yards, zero passing touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Hurts also carried the ball 17 times for 61 yards and three rushing touchdowns with an injured throwing shoulder.

Hoping to keep the vibe going, the Eagles will have Baker perform the National Anthem prior to Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.

According to Dave Zangaro, DJ Jazzy Jeff will perform at halftime, while Hall of Famer and Eagles legend, Brian Dawkins will be the honorary captain.
