Going into the Monday Night football game versus the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles knew that there was a lot of pressure on their quarterback Jalen Hurts to prove himself. It was also up to offensive coordinator Shane Steichen to provide him with the tools for success.

Hurts ended up completing 17 out of 20 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown through the air. On the ground, he rushed for 50 yards and two touchdowns. Hurts ended with an 83% completion percentage and a QBR of 108.7.

We can confidently say that it was one of his most complete games as an Eagle.
