All Jalen Hurts did on an injured left knee was throw for 319 yards and four touchdowns and led the Philadelphia Eagles to another win.
Hurts even failed to throw an interception for the first time in four games. To top off his list of accomplishments, Hurts rallied the Eagles back from a halftime deficit to beat the Washington Commanders 38-31 and make them the only 7-1 team in the NFL.Just how much his banged-up left knee is really bothering him, well, Hurts won’t say.
Hurts became the 6th player in NFL history to record 300-plus total yards and at least two total touchdowns in six straight games. His ability to play through pain is certainly an admirable trait inside the locker room. His performance in the pocket might have been a surprise when he was drafted in 2020. But Hurts has long shown that he is more than just a running quarterback who can throw when needed. His passing is on point and it certainly helps him when his legs — the ones that made him one of the most dynamic players in the NFL — are too banged up to truly go on a breakout run.
Still, the concern over his health is real, and Hurts has the Eagles in a bit of a precarious position headed into the teeth of their schedule. There are games ahead against Dallas, Kansas City and San Francisco. Should Hurts take one wrong hit, make one wrong twist of that knee, the Eagles would be in serious trouble without their franchise QB. Keeping Hurts healthy is clearly as important as winning even regular-season games over the final two months of the season.
"I don’t think there’s a point we will arrive as a team," Hurts said. "Obviously, there’s one stop we’d like to make in the end, but it’s just a journey."The passing game. Hurt was fantastic in rallying the Eagles from behind and A.J. Brown had another 125-yard receiving game. DeVonta Smith had seven catches for 99 yards. Smith had a clutch 17-yard grab on fourth down in the third quarter. Well, at least on the stat sheet.
