Going into the 2022 NFL season, the biggest question surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles was around starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and if he could be the head of the franchise in the future. The voices against that seemed to grow louder after their playoff game against the Tampa Bay Bucs. So, the Eagles got wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans to go alongside DeVonta Smith. Suddenly, Hurts is in a similar “prove it” year scenario as with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (who had a great game himself on Sunday).
So, how did Hurts respond against a Vikings defense that held two-time reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to only 7 points in Week 1?
