Hurts gave an example of how he processes a play. He was asked about his touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert just before halftime Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The 14-yard TD pass gave the Eagles a 14-6 lead on their way to a 34-6 win.

The Eagles for a time were struggling in this game, but Carter had a huge tackle for loss and Hurts turned things around.

Coach Dan Quinn knows that star rookie Jayden Daniels and the rest of the Washington Commanders do not have a lot of time ahead of Thursday’s big NFC East matchup at the Philadelphia Eagles to fix the sorts of things that went wrong during a one-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Eagles are coming off a laugher in Dallas while the Commanders were in a slugfest with the Steelers right down to the bitter end. That means Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and company sat out the fourth quarter. That gives the Eagles the ultimate tiebreaker in a short week: Rest.
