Daily News | The Eagles won’t win anything without NFL MVP Jalen Hurts
At 3:37 p.m. New Year’s Day, every Eagles fan still drawing breath held it and shared the same thought:They were all right. The Eagles were the NFL’s best team before Hurts sprained his throwing shoulder in Chicago. With him, they could beat anybody, anywhere.They lost at Dallas on Christmas Eve because Minshew committed three turnovers.
Dallas sack-meister Micah Parsons called Hurts a “system quarterback” a few weeks ago while laughing at Hurts’ MVP candidacy.If the Eagles hope to beat the Giants in the season finale, Hurts must play next weekend. If the Eagles hope to control their fate as NFC East champion and the No. 1 overall seed, Hurts must play next weekend.
Hurts stood on the Eagles’ sideline as Minshew imploded again. He was 18-for-32 for 274 yards and a touchdown, but numbers have never lied more blatantly. He took six sacks, almost all of them his fault. He threw a stare-down, pick-6 interception toward A.J. Brown with 5 minutes, 31 seconds to play that turned a 13-10 Eagles deficit into a 20-10 impossibility. He threw beneath receivers, behind receivers, above receivers.
