Jalen Hurts demolishes the Niners

Jalen Hurts showed why he is one of the best dual-threat QBs in the NFL. From scoring touchdowns on the ground to running away from pressure to get a first down, Hurts did it all. And his team gave their QB able support.

Hurts threw 15 completions for just 121 passing yards. He didn’t throw a single touchdown throughout the game. But the Eagles scored four rushing touchdowns including one from Hurts, through a cheeky QB sneak play. The Niners’ offense couldn’t settle in as their QB Brock Purdy went out with an elbow injury in their first drive of the game. The Eagles won 31-7.
