The Philadelphia Eagles have played 16 games this season with Jalen Hurts starting at quarterback. They've won 15 of them.
It seems like the NFL world forgot how good the Eagles were. The NFL gets such 24/7 attention that obvious takes get old. The Eagles have been great since Week 1, but there were other shiny toys to pay attention to late in the season. As the playoffs approached, you didn't hear much at all about the Eagles. It wasn't edgy to pick the Eagles to win the Super Bowl anymore.
There were other moments that Hurts was tested and he kept passing them. He had a few runs where he took hits, and popped up each time. Hurts wasn't throwing deep often but was on point with the short and intermediate passes. If the shoulder was bothering Hurts, it didn't show. Hurts could have put up bigger numbers but the Giants couldn't keep the game competitive.
A lot of people forgot how good the Eagles have been all season. A few middling performances with Gardner Minshew II filling in for Hurts shouldn't have changed the perception of the Eagles.Eagles general manager Howie Roseman had a great offseason. It resulted in the most balanced roster in the NFL.
