Jalen Hurts has grown into undisputed Eagles’ leader: ‘Humble’ and a ‘killer’

This is what the Giants will be facing when they play the Eagles in the NFC divisional-round playoff Saturday night: a natural born killer in Jalen Hurts.

Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field: a natural born killer in quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Hurts has been killing it this season. He’s a legitimate league MVP candidate, and the Giants must overcome his right arm and his legs if they’re going to carry on with their unlikely magical postseason ride. Last season, with Wentz finally jettisoned and new head coach Nick Sirianni having taken over, Hurts started 15 games, went 8-7 and completed 61.3 percent of his passes for 3,144 yards, 16 TDs and nine INTs and an 87.2 rating.

“The biggest difference I’ve seen this year is the level of comfort and confidence, and that’s come with experience, that’s come with retaining the same coaching staff and players. You see a much more composed player. You look at the comfort and confidence level he has and he’s taken to another level.”
