The Eagles lost, but Jalen Hurts looked like a star today

In a losing effort against the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts really impressed with his play. 

It wasn’t meant to be for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, with the team suffering a close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This was one heck of a showdown, but Kansas City was able to make enough plays late to get the job done.

While there’s plenty of disappointment for the fans who just left Lincoln Financial Field, they surely have to be pleased with the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts. In a losing effort, the second-year signal-caller really played fantastic.

Eagles signal-caller Jalen Hurts looked sharp against the Chiefs on Sunday

In the 42-30 loss to Kansas City in Week 4, Hurts indeed impressed from start to finish in this one. Unfortunately for him, he was going up against the one and only Patrick Mahomes, who was his usual brilliant self, tossing five touchdowns.

Thanks to Hurts’ strong play, the Eagles found themselves down 28-23 in the fourth quarter. They were hoping to get a defensive stop to get the ball back in Hurts’ hands to try and take the lead. Mahomes had other ideas, though, as he found Tyreek Hill for a score to push the lead to 35-23.

The defeat shouldn’t take away from how well Hurts played, though, as he finished things throwing for 387 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 47 rushing yards. For Philly supporters, they surely loved seeing the chemistry keep growing between Hurts and rookie wideout Devonta Smith.

On the day, Smith posted seven receptions for 122 yards. At the end of the day, the Eagles couldn’t do enough to get the win, but this isn’t on Hurts. He can hold his head up high after a strong day at the office. There’s no doubt he’s got quite the future running the offense for Nick Sirianni.
