Jalen Hurts overcame a slow start and had one of his most productive games of the season in a 20-16 win over the Browns. The Eagles quarterback missed the first five punts of the game but completed 16 of the next 20 for 264 yards and two touchdowns. This was the first game he hadn’t lost the ball since November 20, nearly a year ago, in a 21-17 win over the Chiefs in Kansas City, and he was knocked down only once. Brown was especially outstanding with two catches that few people could make. The first was a 22-yard touchdown, the second was a 40-yard touchdown that sealed the victory. Kudos also to Hurts for getting the ball where it needed to be as Greg Newsome closely marked both balls.

According to Next Gen Stats, Hurts was blitzed a season-high 53.6 percent by Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, and he had 6 of 12 punts for 105 yards. with both touches of the ball when facing the attack. He threw four interceptions in four games with the Giants. He threw three interceptions against the Jets. A total of seven times in five matches. This December it will be two years since Hurts’ lone win at MetLife. He threw ground balls to Brown and Smith.

Saquon Barkley replaced them, and this would be his revenge match. There will certainly be more information later this week. For now, though, it’s all about Hurts and finding a way to build on last week’s strong performance and finding a way to win in the shadow of New York City.
