Jalen Hurts To Start Against Cowboys
4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his third start in Week 15 against the division-rival Cowboys, according to head coach Doug Pederson. At this point this was just a formality after Hurts threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns while adding 63 rushing yards for another touchdown in the Week 15 loss to the Cardinals. The 22-year-old exceeded expectations in his first career start against a tough Saints Defense in a win last week, and he certainly didn't disappoint in his second career start. Hurts has provided the necessary spark for an Eagles offense that was stuck in neutral for most of the year under Carson Wentz. He has made everyone around him better and he should have some QB1 upside in a Week 16 meeting against a Dallas defense that isn't scaring anyone.
