The Eagles did all of their scoring in the first half, when Hurts completed 17 of 20 passes for 251 yards. The Vikings certainly didn't know what hit them. Smith was then asked what it says about the offense if it was everybody's game: "It’s tough for defenses. "(Monday), it just happened to be everybody." "You never know whose game it’s going to be," Smith said. Brown, who had 155 yards in his Eagles' debut, had 69 on Monday night. Quez Watkins caught a 53-yard bomb for a touchdown in the first quarter before finishing with 69 yards. DeVonta Smith, who was shut out last week against the Lions, had seven receptions for 80 yards. Four had at least 69 yards receiving, led by Dallas Goedert with 82 yards. He spread the ball around to all of his receivers. ![]() Hurts certainly did that in the first half. We kind of have to keep the foot on the gas." So when Hurts was asked what pleased him the most about his performance, he responded: "I’ll tell you what left me most unpleased, was how we finished the game on offense. Darius Slay had two of the INTs, and he held Justin Jefferson to just 48 yards receiving. It hardly mattered because the Eagles intercepted Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins three times, all in the second half, and all inside the red zone. And Hurts threw his only interception on a dump-off to Kenny Gainwell that deflected off him and right to former Eagle Jordan Hicks, setting the Vikings up at the Eagles' 9 midway through the fourth quarter. The Eagles went scoreless in the second half. We've got full confidence in the man and he comes and shows it every week."Īnd yet, Hurts found something to nitpick. "I don't know who was worried about that," tight end Dallas Goedert said, "but no one in the building was worried about his arm. In all, the Eagles racked up 486 yards of offense.īut it wasn't like anyone on the Eagles had any doubts about Hurts. ![]() He completed 26 of 31 passes for 333 yards and a touchdown. Hurts was dominant Monday night in the Eagles' 24-7 win over the Vikings. PHILADELPHIA − Jalen Hurts put an exclamation point on any doubts as to his standing as the Eagles' quarterback for the present and the future.
