Jalen Hurts versus Derek Carr: Can the Philadelphia Eagles QB win a duel in Vegas?

Jalen Hurts leads the Eagles into Las Vegas for a battle with the Raiders.

By a show of hands, how many of you find yourselves unable to remember, at times, that the Raiders play in Las Vegas? Do you still find yourselves calling them ‘Oakland’? Your heart goes out to those guys in The Bay. A loyal fan base should never lose its team, but by the looks of things, the party didn’t end. It just moved to party central. Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have a huge task on their hands in Week 7.

Allegiant Stadium is the site of Philadelphia’s first-ever game played in Las Vegas. Hopefully, they’re staying focused, but with a leader like Hurts, that shouldn’t be an issue.

The Raiders quarterback is someone we all know, Derek Carr. He’s the pride of Fresno State and the Raiders leader on offense since 2014. Much was expected of Vegas this season, especially by the Raiders themselves, but after a nice start and a coaching change, some are wondering how they’ll respond.

Based on what we saw in Denver versus the Broncos, this team has no intention of mailing the season in. This should be a nice duel between an up-and-coming star and the veteran who still looks like he’s about 18 years old. Here’s the tale of the tape as we get ready for what should be a good game in a rowdy atmosphere.
