"Starting plays under center far more frequently than he did earlier in the season, Hurts completed 22 of 30 throws -- with 15 of those caught by A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith -- for 185 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. He connected with Smith from 5 yards out in the first half and with tight end Dallas Goedert from 15 to put Philadelphia ahead 14-10 in the third quarter, capping a 17-play, 83-yard, 10 1/2-minute drive."
"Hurts also did plenty of damage on the ground, gaining 40 yards on seven carries for the Eagles (10-5), who have followed a three-game losing streak by winning two in a row. They are the first team to top the NFC East in back-to-back seasons since Philadelphia did it every year from 2001 to 2004; the gap since then was the longest drought without a repeat champ for any division in NFL history."
The Eagles overcame a shaky start that included a fumble on the opening kickoff, penalties on the tush push and missed field-goal tries to rally from a halftime deficit. Jalen Hurts completed 22 of 30 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers while rushing for 40 yards on seven carries. Hurts connected with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert on scoring plays that capped a 17-play, 83-yard drive. Saquon Barkley rushed 21 times for 132 yards, scored on a 12-yard run and added a 2-point conversion that preceded a late on-field brawl. The Eagles (10-5) clinched the NFC East; the Commanders fell to 4-11.
