Sooners in the NFL Week 7: Jalen Hurts and Joe Mixon Steal the Show

In this story:
It was a quiet Sunday for Oklahoma’s NFL stars, especially considering Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray both play on Monday night this week.
It wasn’t a quiet day for Jalen Hurts, though, as the former Sooner led the Eagles to a 28-3 victory over the Giants. Hurts kept it simple through the air and took care of the ball, completing 10-of-14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown. He added 22 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground. He’s a big reason why the Eagles found so much success on the ground, as his ability to run the ball clearly has defenses second guessing. Philadelphia rushed 45 times for 269 yards and three touchdowns.

It was another big day for former Oklahoma kicker Austin Seibert — who played hero for the Commanders just a few weeks ago. Seibert was nails once again on Sunday, going 4-of-4 on field goals and 4-of-4 on extra point attempts. He drilled a 49-yard field goal attempt, which was his longest of the day.
Nik Bonitto, who played on Thursday night against the Saints, is now becoming a staple of consistency for a Broncos defense that really struggled a year ago. He now has a sack in five consecutive games and 10 solo tackles on the season.
