Jalen Hurts’ phenomenal starting debut for the Eagles last Sunday -- downtrodden Philadelphia beat the Saints 24-21 -- has ignited hope that all three Lincoln Riley quarterbacks could be taking teams into the NFL playoffs.
Baker Mayfield and the Browns will be there.
Kyler Murray and the Cardinals likely will be there (62 percent chance, according to footballoutsiders.com).
But how about Hurts and the Eagles? Philadelphia faces a tough road to win the woebegone NFC East, but it’s not impossible.
Washington leads the East with a 6-7 record, followed by the Giants at 5-8, the Eagles at 4-8-1 and the Cowboys at 4-9.
