The Philadelphia Eagles showed the city they are not yet dead after a dominating 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15.
Everyone is buzzing about the performance of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had just three incompletions for 175 yards and three touchdowns, adding 39 rushing yards in the win. After the game, FOX reporter Pam Oliver interviewed Hurts on the field and asked him what he was looking for after the horrendous performance against the Los Angeles Chargers. In typical Hurts fashion, it was pretty simple.
"I wanted to win. That simple."
Hurts continues the same message of how it's all about winning for Eagles
This was a great bounce back game for Hurts who looked great from the pocket and just tore up the Raiders' defense every step of the way. He was a Dallas Goedert dropped pass away from having four touchdowns in the game.
What made Hurts' performance so good was his willingness to run the football. Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo ran more quarterback-designed runs from shotgun and had a ton of success on Las Vegas' poor defense.
Hurts' running helped his running back, Saquon Barkley, get some nice runs in as he finished with 78 yards and a touchdown. That is the only way this Eagles offense will be successful at running the football, as long as Hurts is willing to do something about it.
The passing of Hurts, though, shouldn't be ignored, as he was accurate from the pocket. Hurts' 44-yard completion to DeVonta Smith on a go route was a thing of beauty. Even Hurts' 27-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown in traffic was perfectly placed in the middle of the field.

It was as near a perfect game from Hurts as it gets, as it reminded Eagles fans of the Minnesota Vikings game from earlier in the season. The only question is whether Hurts can keep doing that the rest of the season against the Washington Commanders and Buffalo Bills.
