Jalen Hurts sets a new Eagles franchise record for passer rating, while the team's defense continues its elite performance by limiting the Steelers' passing yards to a franchise-low.
Nick Foles loses a franchise record, the Eagles continue playing elite pass defense and something that's never happened to Mike Tomlin before. All that — plus a generous dollop of Jalen Hurts stats and lots more — in this week's edition of Roob's Eagles Stats. The Eagles have allowed an average of 147.9 net passing yards during their 10-game winning streak.
That’s the fewest passing yards they’ve allowed in any 10-game span (within the same season) since Week 6 through Week 16 of the 1991 season, when they allowed 142.3 per game. The Eagles are the first team since the Super Bowl-champion 1975 Steelers to allow fewer net passing yards during a 10-game winning streak. The Eagles have allowed 225 or fewer net passing yards in 10 consecutive games, their longest streak since an 11-game run in 1974. LeSean McCoy isn’t the only Eagle to lose an all-time franchise record lately. Nick Foles lost one on Sunday. Foles finished his Eagles career with a passer rating of 93.2. Jalen Hurts came into the Steelers game with a passer rating of 93.1, but with 25-for-32 for 290 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, he raised his career rating to 93.6 and replaced Foles atop the Eagles’ all-time passer rating leader board. Hurts came into the season at 91.9 and he actually dropped as low as 90.7 going into the bye. But he raised his rating to 91.2 after the Browns game, 91.5 after the Giants, 91.9 after the Bengals, 92.5 after the Jaguars, 92.7 after the Cowboys and Commanders, 92.8 after the Rams, 92.9 after the Ravens, 93.1 after the Panthers and now 93.6 after the Steelers. Hurts ranked 27The Eagles outgained the Steelers 401-163, and if you don’t remember a Mike Tomlin-coached Steelers team being outgained by 238 yards in a game that’s because it had never happened. Tomlin has coached 307 games and that 238-yard margin is the largest he’s ever been on the wrong side of
