Jalen Hurts was the star of the Philadelphia Eagles' 3-0 start.
The Eagles running back paced the offense in dreary conditions as Philadelphia rallied from a 14-0 deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 29-21 and improve to 4-0. They remain the NFL's only unbeaten team.
The game got off to an ominous start for the Eagles as Jalen Hurts threw a pick-6 on Philadelphia's first possession. Trevor Lawrence then led an 80-yard touchdown drive to secure a 14-0 Jaguars lead. But the Eagles answered with 20 unanswered points in the second quarter and didn't relinquish the lead.
The Eagles kept the ball on the ground as the remnants of Hurricane Ian led to rainy, windy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field. Philadelphia outgained Jacksonville, 401 yards to 218, with 210 yards coming on the ground. Sanders led the effort with 134 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. Lawrence, meanwhile, fumbled four times and lost them all, including a strip-sack on Jacksonville's last possession that secured Philadelphia's win.Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.
