It is safe to say, Jalen Hurts’ MVP odds are not slowing down. His most recent performances against the New York Giants have only got people in and around the NFL hyped about his MVP accolade. Moreover, this 24-year-old QB is putting up numbers which goes beyond belief.

From making even fewer mistakes in each successive game, Jalen Hurst is only improving his MVP candidature. Furthermore, Jalen Hurts has already joined some of the best QBs in the franchise – he is already the 5^th-most in franchise history and just five off the franchise record of 35 set in 1990 by Randall Cunningham.

Ryan Clark quoted on the latest episode of Get Up, “He is the MVP right now. … Jalen Hurts, in no point in this entire season, has been a reason for a lull with the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Can Jalen Hurts win the MVP in the 2022-23 season?

Let us look back – in his previous eight games, the #1 Quarterback of Philadelphia Eagles has completed 68 % of his passes, thrown for 225 yards per game with 18 TouchDowns and one interception and recorded a 115.9 passer rating.

If one doesn’t find this amazing, t only is that highest in the NFL over the last eight games, the next in line is Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow with a tally of 111.0.

Jalen Hurts is only the second quarterback in NFL history to lead a team to a 12-1 record before his 25^th birthday. In 1984, Dan Marino, who was still only 23 – led the Miami Dolphins to a 12-1 record.

They lost their 14^th game to the Raiders, falling to 12-2. In simpler terms – if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Bears, this sensation becomes the only Quarterback to go 13-1 before even turning 25.
