A few plays after replacing the injured Jalen Hurts, who is being evaluated for a concussion, former Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett came off the bench and fired a touchdown pass to Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown Sunday to stake Philadelphia to a 14-0 lead on the road over the Washington Commanders.
Hurts was injured on a scramble, where his head bounced off the turf, leading to him being sent off to be evaluated. Pickett came in and led the Eagles into the end zone, capping off the 8-play, 57-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown to Brown on a slant for the score.
