Jalen Hurts finally flashes a breakout run game. The 5-0 Eagles need more of it to stay undefeated

PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts had been more grounded this season than he was a year ago, when he was an explosive runner in a breakout season that saw him lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl. Hurts easily had his best all-around game of the season, one reason the Eagles are 5-0 for only the fourth time in franchise history. They want to see if you win or you lose; if it works or if it doesn’t.” Most parts of the game are working for the Eagles and in a “results-based business,” only San Francisco can match them as the best in the NFL. Rookie Jalen Carter had two sacks and became the third Eagles player to have 3 1/2 total sacks in his first five games, joining Corey Simon and Reggie White. WHAT NEEDS HELP Call it the “tush push,” the “Brotherly Shove” or whatever the secret name really is, the play works: Hurts scored a touchdown on the Eagles’ signature short-yardage play.
