There's no trouble in paradise for Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown. That seems obvious, and yes, we can be quoted.

The duo put the rumors to rest on Sunday afternoon as the Philadelphia Eagles showed onlookers a successful passing-game performance. Brown finished with 110 receiving yards, his highest total since Week 2.

It was a nice conclusion to what was a long week. Most importantly, Philly earned a record-setting win.

Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown prove the media wrong in Week 15 win.

The rumor mill was churning last week, Headlines were aplenty. Negativity was produced. Brown's comment about the passing game needing work didn't go over well. Current and former players were quick to offer their two cents.

There was skepticism about whether the Hurts-Brown dynamic had grown toxic. There were questions about what the impact would be.

Philly's streak had grown to nine straight wins. But, it seemed as though things were in jeapardy. Fans and media expressed their concern. What we witnessed on Sunday was the result we had hoped for. QB1 and his star receivers answered a ton of questions.

Hurts hadn't exceeded 200 yards passing since Week 11. In Week 15, he threw for 290 yards. 219 of those passing yards were stacked by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Both scored TDs.

It didn't end there...

DeVonta Smith's 11 receptions were a career-high. It was, without question, his most active game of the season and quite possibly the best game of his career.

The Eagles pulled out the victory, 27-13. Following the game, Hurts' swag had returned. The first question during his post-game presser was one he asked.

No. 11 had a few theories of his own. "That was our moment to tell everybody to shut up".

As Dr. banner once said before 'Hulking out', you wouldn't like this offense when its angry.

Philly's offense has already proven it can excel in the running game. Sunday's win serves as evidence they're still growing and can be dangerous. Russell Wilson was served his first loss against the Eagles. Tomlin still hasn't won in Philadelphia.

The Birds are 12-2. With three games remaining, the top seed in the NFC is in their sights. Let's hope the rumors have been laid to rest... for good.
