Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took a shot at the stories that were swirling around the Eagles' passing game this week.
Jalen Hurts might have tried to give himself a new nickname, “Jalen Two Shoes,” earlier this season when a knotted cleat caused him to briefly wear mismatched shoes during a 37-17 Eagles win in Cincinnati in late October, but the NFL doesn’t appear to be too fond of Hurts making it a routine.
PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts arrived at Lincoln Financial Field with a bandage on his left ring finger. That is Hurts' non-throwing hand, so the effect of Hurts' injury should be somewhat minimal on his ability to throw, but he will have to be cognizant of the injury when he scrambles.
Jalen Hurts threw touchdown passes to A.J. 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.
Will Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts be ready to bust out of a slump on Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Steelers?
On a day MVP candidate Saquon Barkley logged his second-lowest rushing output of the season (65 yards), the Eagles relied heavily on Jalen Hurts’ three touchdowns, its star wide receivers and stifling defense, outgaining Mike Tomlin’s club 401 total yards to 163 while nearly doubling up Pittsburgh in time of possession.
The Eagles extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 27-13 win over the Steelers on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, limiting his ability to practice for the Philadelphia Eagles' game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
