Jalen Hurts topples Aaron Rodgers, moves Eagles to 10 wins

Jalen Hurts needs to be the leading candidate for Most Valuable Player in the National Football League.

He has improved his mechanics as a quarterback, and the Philadelphia Eagles are poised for a Super Bowl run. Hurts took down a Super Bowl champion and one of the best passers in the league on Sunday as he outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He totaled 153 passing yards, 157 rushing yards, and two passing touchdowns in the Eagles’ 40-33 victory at home.

Green Bay had no answers for the third-year quarterback as Hurts totaled 310 yards and averaged 9.
