Jalen Hurts reacts to the victory against the Rams

The Philadelphia Eagles have already secured two solid victories against the Cowboys and the Chiefs this season. However, the win over the Rams on Sunday was special because of the way it came. Jalen Hurts reacted to the comeback win in his postgame press conference.

“It’s a dangerous thing when a group never gives up,” Hurts said, “and this group never gave up. That’s what I’m very proud of. I think a win like this is encouraging, but it also lights a fire under everybody to strive for the level of execution that we want.

“We talk about playing for a standard. The standard isn’t to produce or to have numbers or certain statistics. It’s to execute whatever we’re asked to do, and I don’t think we did that in the first half. I think we kind of changed our approach in the second half, and that definitely helped us weather throughout the game and make plays the way we did.”

Jalen Hurts completed 21 of 32 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns against the Rams on Sunday. The quarterback also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown as he played an instrumental role in the victory. He will be fired to bring out another big performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4.
