Philadelphia Eagles vs Minnesota Vikings in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles registered a statement victory over the Minnesota Vikings, with marquee Jalen Hurts bursting on the center stage. To be precise about his legendary on Sunday, Hurts had 301 yards in the first half on Monday night. While he finished with Three TouchDowns.
What’s even more impressive? Hurts hit five-receiver for 5-for-5 passing highlighted by a 19-yard strike to A.J.Brown and finished the drive himself with a 3-yard scoring run. The credit does go to Philadelphia Eagles who invested that time, money and energy in Hurts – to finally build a team around him. While some might not be convinced about the potential of this young QB – sports media personality, Skip Bayless is surely going goes berserk after watching Hurts perform against Vikings.
Bayless quoted on the latest episode of Undisputed, “What did I tell you sitting at this side of table? Again, and again, and again – here come the Eagles. I also tweeted last night, before the one I tweeted which we are gonna talk about – the Eagles scare the bleep out of me. Philadelphia Eagles improved all offseason while the Dallas Cowboys seemed to just idle, to sit still and do virtually nothing.”
From the moment the game took off – Jalen hurts was simply unstoppable after he threw a 53-yard TouchDown to Quez Watkins to get things going. Moreover, the Philadelphia Eagles never gave the opposition a chance to crawl their way back in. Safe to say, it does look the Philadelphia Eagles’ put in hours of work on the training ground to bounce back in such fashion.
Skip Bayless added, “Well, you (Shannon Sharpe) kept telling me that it is all about Jalen Hurts and you weren’t dol on him because you thought he didn’t throw the ball that consistent enough, to take them places they haven’t already been. Now, you’re starting to see Jalen Hurts, you’re starting to see him evolve in a big-time, top-level Quarterback. I believe in Jalen Hurts and I’ve told you this from the start.”
After leaking 35 points previously against Detroit, Eagles’ defense held Vikings’ offense throughout the game. Furthermore, the defense made big plays in their own territory. But that being said, is it the beginning of Philadelphia Eagles’ upward trajectory in the 2022-23 season? Remains to be seen.
