After suffering multiple injuries during his career, Jalen Hurts has adopted a more protective running style that could evolve as playoff stakes increase

Hurts was injured on the last play of the third quarter against the Raiders when he ran to his right on second-and-4 and lost a yard as he was tackled by ex-Eagles linebacker Devin White. Hurts' leg appeared to bend backward, and he came up hobbling.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had some strong words for his critics amid wild trade speculation.

Jalen Hurts and his Eagles teammates did what they were supposed to do. They beat a reeling team at home. With that, they move to 9-5 on the campaign. Days after Hurts produced a 31.2 QB rating and a 27.4 QBR, he racked up a 154.9 passer rating.

Jalen Hurts bounced back from his worst NFL game by throwing three touchdown passes and Saquon Barkley added a 2-yard touchdown run as the Philadelphia Eagles snapped a three-game losing streak with a 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

If the Eagles clinch, they would be the first back-to-back winners of the NFC East in two decades. There has not been a back-to-back division champion since the Eagles won from 2001-04. Since then, all four franchises have won the division title at least twice, but never in back-to-back years.

Look past the stats and use the eyeball test. The theory makes even more sense. Philadelphia's offense is more efficient and more effective when operating under center. The sample size is much smaller than what we've seen from the Birds in the shotgun formation.
