Jalen Hurts makes history

With his win tonight, Jalen Hurts made history with his performance. He has now gone five games straight in playoff starts without an interception.

This is the second-most by any quarterback in NFL history since 1970. The only quarterback with more starts with no interceptions thrown is Patrick Mahomes.

This just goes to show how consistent Hurts has been since arriving in the NFL. And the fact of the matter is, he has proven to be the pivotal asset for the Eagles.

Eagles going for the Super Bowl

It’s hard to remember, but the Eagles were very close to winning a Super Bowl two years ago. A final play in the end would end up costing them a Super Bowl win.

And since then, the Eagles have never really looked like Super Bowl contenders. This season has been a better story than the last.

The arrival of Saquoan Barkley has completely revitalized Hurts and the entire team. And with the right set of circumstances, they could find themselves back in the playoffs.
