Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts completed 15-of-20 passes for 128 yards in the Eagles’ 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Lions, adding seven carries for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Hurts got the scoring started early for the Eagles when he broke off a 44-yard touchdown run on their sixth play of the game. Snow set in early in this one, which likely played a role in Hurts having just 128 yards through the air, but the Eagles’ QB1 also suffered a knee injury in the third quarter that visibly slowed him for the remainder of the game. Hurts took a pivotal safety on his first drive after returning from the medical tent and was under pressure all day as he absorbed seven sacks. Despite this, the Eagles’ outscored the Rams 12-7 in the fourth quarter and will now advanced to the NFC Championship Game where they will host the Commanders for the rights to go to the Super Bowl. Hurts will play through his knee injury next week, but how it affects his play will be something to monitor.
