The NFL MVP race is heating up and the only thing we know for sure is that Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is firmly in the mix for the award.
The reigning Player of the Week, Hurts was honored after his dominant performance against Green Bay last Sunday night, snagging his first career honor.
Hurts gained 157 yards on the ground against the Packers, Breaking Michael Vick’s single-game rushing record set against the Giants in December 2010.
The third-year quarterback also completed 16 of 28 passes for 153 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Eagles raised their record to 10-1 and Hurts became the third quarterback in NFL history – joining Vick and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson – to run for 150-plus yards and throw for 150-plus yards in the same game and the first to do so while throwing a pair of touchdown passes.
Hurts was 29 of 39 passing for 380 yards and three touchdowns becoming the first Eagle to accomplish the feat since Michael Vick in 2010.
With the NFL experts undecided at this point, let’s break down and compare the current favorites.
