Eagles QB Jalen Hurts ran for 3 TDs in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals. Hurts scored from 1 yard out in the second quarter and fourth quarter, with a 7-yard TD run early in the third. He totaled a mere 37 yards on 10 rushes for the game. Hurts also threw for 236 yards and a TD (45 yards to WR DeVonta Smith) on 16-of-20 passing.
Hurts' 132.5 passer rating for the game is his highest for the season. It also marks his third straight game with a passer rating of 119.3 or higher.
It's no coincidence WR A.J. Brown has also been back for those three games.
Hurts also managed to avoid getting sacked for the first time this season and took only 1 hit. That's especially noteworthy for a guy who entered the game having taken pressure at a higher rate than any other starter, according to Pro Football Focus.
