The prevailing Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts led Eagles in a week 1 victory over the cowboys, despite far from perfect night.
“Just finding ways to win, that’s what comes down,” said Hurts after the victory 24-20. “It doesn’t matter what it looks like, it doesn’t matter how things are going, it’s just about finding ways to work.”
The more open season started with a good start for the defenders. Eagles representative Ben Vansumeren suffered a knee injury that was not in contact with the starting kick. For the first part of Scrimmage, Jalen Carter, the defense, was thrown out to spit on Dak Prescott. Philly defense could not stop much night. And the offense, which started very hot, sputted late, could not find out the cowboys in the second half.
But Eagles did enough for the best micah Parsons-less cowboy thanks to the Hurts, which used his feet to torture Jerry Jones club. QB ended the 19-AF-23, which went 152 meters and 94.2 points. He led Philly with a 62 rush meter on 14 wagons with two matches. It marked the third career of Hurts with two plus rush TDS and 80.0 plus finishing rate, most of the QB since 1950 (no other QB has more than one such game in the career).
“I think Jalen played a really good game,” said Nick Sirianni coach. “He made a lot of plays with his feet when things weren’t particularly there. It’s so possible – Jalen, it was third down, they took off his first reading, he repaid his feet and put the ball to Dallas. To say I know exactly how he was still difficult because I want to watch the table.
“I thought he played really efficient and I felt he was playing very well and he is a big reason why [more]? ‘But Jalen really played efficiently and really [well] Based on what I saw and played plays with his feet, his mind and with his arm. “
