An argument could be made that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is the frontrunner for NFL MVP, or is at least on equal footing with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
The dual-threat quarterback is enjoying a breakout season, ranking fifth in passer rating (105.1), seventh in completion percentage (67.0 percent) and tied for fourth in rushing touchdowns (six) while stewarding the lone undefeated team in the NFL.
He has provided a steady hand guiding the Philadelphia offense, and the timing of his ascent dovetails splendidly this week with his return to his hometown as the Eagles (7-0) are set to meet the host Houston Texans (1-5-1) on Thursday.
