Jalen Hurts accounts for 3 TDs and Eagles beat Steelers 27-13 for franchise-best 10th straight win

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts absorbed the shots when the Eagles’ recent anemic passing attack was panned by his own star wide receivers. We want to make sure that we’re locked into what we’re doing, and that’s what I felt like.” Hurts threw touchdown passes to Brown and DeVonta Smith to mute scrutiny of the Eagles’ offense, and Philadelphia won its franchise-record 10th straight game, 27-13 over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. It was very uncomfortable because we don’t want to feel like we’re getting attacked.” Hurts hit Brown late in the first quarter for a 5-yard TD — the pair celebrated with the Kid ’N Play dance — and connected with Smith on a 2-yard score in the second for a 17-3 lead. Watt, who leads the Steelers with 11 1/2 sacks, said he was in “wait-and-see” mode for next week’s division showdown at Baltimore.
