Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts was a guest on the Manningcast for Week 4 of the 2022 NFL Season. The player was watching the Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers game with NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning.
The three were discussing a quarterback’s play during which Hurts jokingly called two-time Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning by the term ‘Chad’.

A ‘chad’ is a stereotypical alpha male: he is attractive, successful, muscular, cocky, and extremely popular with women. Chads are typically portrayed as young, athletic white male who wears trendy clothing and only enjoys popular things.
Manning responded by saying, “We have that in common, Jalen.”
Fans had hilarious reactions to this. A user said, “Chad Hurts”.
Another one said, “Better put money on the cardinals next week. Manning curse is inevitable.”
Jalen Hurts has been playing extremely well in the current season. His Philadelphia Eagles are the only unbeaten side in the NFL after four weeks. The player is fifth in the league in passing yards, 1120 and 22nd in passing touchdowns with four to his name. The team cruised past the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.
The ManningCast Curse has had prolonged effects on the players in the league. Only one player has not been affected by it and that is New York Giants’ running back Saquon Barkley.

In Week 3 of that season, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford appeared on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. He did not sustain an injury, but his Los Angeles Rams were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4.
