Sooners in the NFL: Week 11

Another Sunday has come and gone with NFL Week 11 in the books just short of Monday night’s collision between the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

For former Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, every game is crucial down the stretch as they battle amongst the jumble of teams in the running for the final couple of playoff wild card spots.

On Sunday, the Eagles welcomed in one of the other teams they are jockeying with for said playoff spots in the 5-4 New Orleans Saints.

On a day where the passing game was decent, the rushing attack for Philadelphia was tremendous, going for 242 yards and three scores as a team.

69 of those yards along with all three touchdowns came on the legs of Hurts, who continues to hurt opposing defenses with his legs just as he did as a Sooner in Norman.

The former Heisman runner-up also completed 13 of his 24 passes for 147 yards without a turnover. 

After just a 2-4 start to his first full season as the starting quarterback of the Eagles, Hurts has officially hit his stride in the last month.

Dating back to Oct. 31st, Philadelphia has scored 44, 24, 30 and now 40 points in four games and have won three of them including back-to-back impressive outings against the Denver Broncos and the Saints.

The Eagles’ 40-29 win over New Orleans on Sunday got them back to just one game below .500 on the season at 5-6 and only two wins behind the first-place Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

The fifth win of the season also moved Philadelphia to within a half-game of a playoff spot with seven weeks remaining in the regular season.

According to NFL research, Hurts (23 years, 106 days) is the second-youngest NFL quarterback to rush for three touchdowns in a game, training only Cam Newton (22 years, 207 days). Hurts also has four career games with at least two rushing TDs, which ties Newton for the most by a quarterback in his first two NFL seasons in the Super Bowl era.

Next up for Hurts and the Eagles will be a trip to the Meadowlands to do battle with the division-rival New York Giants at 12 p.m. CT next Sunday.
