PHILADELPHIA -- Rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts gave the Eagles' offense the jolt coach Doug Pederson was looking for, using his arm and legs to power Philadelphia to a 24-21 upset win over the New Orleans Saints, who saw their nine-game win streak come to an end.
Making his first start in place of the struggling Carson Wentz, Hurts went 17-of-30 for 167 yards and a touchdown and ran 18 times for 106 yards.
The Saints had gone 56 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher, the longest streak in the Super Bowl era.
