Hurts gave an example of how he processes a play. He was asked about his touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert just before halftime Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The 14-yard TD pass gave the Eagles a 14-6 lead on their way to a 34-6 win.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles get their first crack at rookie phenom Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders in the City of Brotherly Love with first place on the line.

The Eagles for a time were struggling in this game, but Carter had a huge tackle for loss and Hurts turned things around.

The Eagles are coming off a laugher in Dallas while the Commanders were in a slugfest with the Steelers right down to the bitter end. That means Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and company sat out the fourth quarter. That gives the Eagles the ultimate tiebreaker in a short week: Rest.

Coach Dan Quinn knows that star rookie Jayden Daniels and the rest of the Washington Commanders do not have a lot of time ahead of Thursday’s big NFC East matchup at the Philadelphia Eagles to fix the sorts of things that went wrong during a one-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
