While his passing numbers haven’t set the world on fire, quarterback Jalen Hurts has been in the thick of the surge. He’s completed 67 percent of his passes for 443 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in Philadelphia’s last three games. And he’s tallied 31 carries for 186 yards.
In his Monday press conference, head coach Nick Sirianni touted Hurts’ progress.
“I just see his arrow completely pointed up,” Sirianni said, via Reuben Frank of NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. “I think we’ve all seen the way he’s played.”
Hurts is technically still a rookie, but he's clearly been helped but a running game and a more balanced offense. The Eagles didn't run the ball in the beginning of the season putting more pressure on Hurts. But that's changed over the team's recent surge. There is still no guarantee Hurts is the team's starter in 2022, the team is typically aggressive and has been linked to Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson over the last year or so. But Hurts is making a push to earn the job going forward.
