PHILADELPHIA — It was just about two years ago against the Green Bay Packers when Jalen Hurts replaced Carson Wentz in the third quarter, changing the trajectory of Hurts, Wentz and the Eagles' future.
Hurts became the Eagles' starter the next week and has had a firm hold on the job ever since, while Wentz is on his third team in three seasons.
But after that game, Hurts and Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers shared an extended handshake. Hurts did most of the talking in those brief moments following the Eagles' 30-16 loss in a desultory 4-11-1 season.
