What a moment it was for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as he had a chance to silence all his critics with a clutch performance in their 28-22 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 action.
Hurts was able to complete 19 of his 23 passes (an 82% completion percentage) for a season-high 326 yards and three touchdowns in the win. He hit A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on deep pass touchdowns to redeem himself from the previous ones he missed with them over the last two games.
Even when Saquon Barkley had the concussion, the pressure was on Hurts to carry the offense, kill the rest of the clock, and try to keep the team. Hurts came up big with multiple huge passes to Brown and Smith at the end.
After the game, ESPN's Tim McManus shared a short clip of Jalen Hurts and Dallas Goedert celebrating while heading to the locker room. Hurts had something to say that may not be appropriate for kids.
"We ain't f---ing losers (or losing) anymore."

What an awesome moment for a guy who got the weight of the world on his shoulders
That single comment tells fans everything they need to know about Jalen Hurts. This is a guy who has won over 70% of the games that he has started in his career with the Eagles and doesn't like to lose.
Hurts has shown all season how important winning is to him. The greatest example of his was in the Denver Broncos loss, he chased down the field to help with his own Hail Mary attempt.
This season has not gone the way Eagles fans were hoping at times, but Hurts has been drastically better as a passer over the last three games. The missed deep throws have been rough, but he was able to fight through it and show against Minnesota that he is worthy of being the starting quarterback of this franchise.

Philly will be able to carry the momentum of this win into the rest of the season. Hurts deserves a ton of credit for getting this offense rolling and helping them win.
