Jalen Hurts Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 9
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 21-of-27 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns, adding nine carries for 23 yards during the team's 29-17 victory over the Houston Texans. He also lost a fumble on a blindside shot he took early in the game. The third-year quarterback has thrown eight total touchdowns over the Eagles' last three games but has not been much of a factor on the ground. Hurts has failed to eclipse 30 rushing yards since Week 5 against Arizona. It is uncharacteristic for the 24-year-old, but Philadelphia's passing attack is much more potent this year, allowing Hurts to run the ball less often. This performance will go down as one of his lower fantasy finishes on the season, but he will likely finish as a QB1 by the end of the week with six teams on bye. Hurts should continue to roll next week against a Washington defense that he burned for 340 yards and three touchdowns back in Week 3.
