Darius Slay's wife Jennifer drops 3-word reaction to Jalen Hurts' defiant Week 16 stunt
Jalen Hurts made a fashion statement before Sunday's crucial matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Eagles quarterback arrived at Northwest Stadium sporting a black and grey collared suit that turned heads.
The timing of Hurts' choice raised eyebrows, coming just days after the NFL fined him $5,628. The Associated Press reported on Dec. 21 that the fine stemmed from wearing mismatched cleats during Philadelphia's 27-13 win over Pittsburgh.
Jennifer Slay, who has been married to Eagles cornerback Darius Slay since June 2017, shared her reaction on social media. She captured the moment perfectly, labeling Hurts' arrival as "Top tier trolling" in her Dec. 21 post.
The stakes are massive for this divisional showdown. The Eagles (12-2) stand one win away from clinching the NFC East crown against the surging Commanders (9-5).
Philadelphia dominated their first meeting this season, securing a 26-18 victory at Lincoln Financial Field during Thursday Night Football.
Jalen Hurts' uniform violations draw support from Jordan brand
Jalen Hurts' recent uniform violation drew unexpected backing from Jordan Brand. The Nike subsidiary pledged to pay his fine on social media, declaring:
"We're paying the fine. You can't ban greatness."
This season has featured multiple footwear incidents for Hurts. On Oct. 28, he played part of the Cincinnati game with mismatched cleats after his green Air Jordan 4 PE came loose mid-play.
That situation forced the Eagles to burn a timeout when Hurts couldn't quickly retie the shoe. He switched to a white Jordan 11, later quipping, "I had to go Jalen Two Shoes for a bit" after Philadelphia's 37-17 victory.
In the Steelers game, Jalen Hurts wore different shades—one "Midnight green" matching his jersey and one "Kelly green" cleat. He explained that the combination resulted from a delayed shipment of Jordan Columbia 11s.
The Eagles face coverage starts at noon ET with Eagles Pregame Live on NBC Sports Philadelphia. As they chase the division title, Hurts' pregame fashion choice adds another chapter to the season's ongoing dialogue about player expression.
The quarterback's subtle statement arrives as team fines pile up—the Eagles faced over $55,000 in uniform violation penalties in Week 15 alone. Yet through it all, Jalen Hurts continues to showcase his personality both on and off the field.
