Jalen Hurts shares rare comedy gold ahead of Eagles' showdown with Cowboys

For someone who has been put through the ringer over the past couple of weeks, it was nice to see Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts have a funny moment with reporters.

Hurts has been dealing with drama on the team after Eagles reporter Derrick Gunn's report that teammates were frustrated with the quarterback for his play. That has sparked everyone to chime in with their opinions on the news.

The media asked Hurts about it, and, of course, he had the perfect response. But there was one moment at his press conference that was nice to see out of the more serious Hurts.

One reporter asked him about the difference between this Eagles team back in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys and the Cowboys team that will face the current Eagles. Hurts had a funny, but accurate, response to it, taking him a few seconds to answer, with a smile at the end.

"I mean we won then, and we win now. So from a macro perspective, I mean what else?"

Hurts is smiling in the face of adversity and criticism like no only has

This was an incredible moment to see from Hurts, who has been through quite a bit mentally. With everyone criticizing his play, it was nice to see him go from being serious all the time to creating a bit of a chuckle from reporters.

The last two weeks have seen Hurts complete under 60% of his passes, scoring just two touchdowns, and leading an offense that has totaled 26 points. That all doesn't look so great, but overall, Hurts is still playing at a high level this season.

Through 10 games, he's completed 66.9% of his passes for 1,995 yards and 16 touchdowns to one interception. He's also run for 265 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.

Philly next has the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12 as they look to pull away from the NFC East lead. The Eagles are 8-2 and won the last contest against Dallas 24-20. As for the Cowboys, they are sitting at a 4-5-1 record with small hopes of making the postseason.
