Jalen Hurts has become an MVP candidate for the Philadelphia Eagles this season. The star QB has the Eagles off to their first 8-0 start in franchise history.
Jalen Hurts runs while pointing down field against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on November 3, 2022 in Houston, Texas. Jalen Hurts saw the area code pop up on his mobile device on draft night and thought for a moment the numbers represented that other NFL city in Pennsylvania. Nah, the 2-1-5 digits the QB read came from Philadelphia and that meant one thing, the Heisman Trophy finalist out of Oklahoma was about to become an Eagle.
Hurts, though, fell to the Eagles and in his third season, he is having an MVP-type year — per FanDuel Sportsbook, only Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo QB Josh Allen have better odds to win the award — and boasts a team-record winning streak for starting quarterbacks headed into Monday’s game against Washington.
Good thing for the Birds, general manager Howie Roseman made the choice — yes, that was his phone call from the Philly area code — to draft Hurts based on his arm, legs and other intangibles, which turned the QB into one of the best picks of his regime.The numbers show Hurts has the Eagles positioned for more big numbers with a win over the Commanders. With a victory, Hurts would extend his franchise record — and longest streak for an active NFL QB — with 12 straight victories.
"I knew we had a chance to be really good, but I didn’t think we’d be 8-0 at this point," Kelce said. "Not that I worry about where we’re going to be."
