CINCINNATI -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts finally got the better of Joe Burrow, posting four touchdowns (three rushing, one passing) in a 37-17 road win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Asked if he drew any satisfaction from outdueling Burrow, who is considered one of the best quarterbacks in football, Hurts responded: "That's the league. I have standards for myself as well."
Hurts has played the role of runner-up to Burrow on previous occasions. Burrow won the Heisman Trophy in 2019 while Hurts came in second. The one time they played each other during their college careers, Burrow's LSU Tigers stomped Hurts' Oklahoma Sooners 63-28 in the '19 CFP semifinals.
