Taking a page, perhaps, from the book of his reverse-hurdling backfield mate, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense left one message unquestionably clear in Week 9: however high Jacksonville believed it could go, Philadelphia’s wings would elevate them a tier higher. Ahead by six, and hoping to display killer instinct, 2022’s Most Valuable Player runner-up rose, letting fly a perfectly-thrown 25-yard score to a teammate known as “Skinny Batman,” supplying the Kelly Green-clad Eagles a surefire scoreboard cushion. Hitting an elite stride during the season’s midpoint, Hurts, in a 28-23 win on Nov. 3, 2024, was all-encompassing, going 18-of-24 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, alongside 13 carries for 67 yards and an additional score.
