Eagles QB Jalen Hurts gets MVP chants at FedEx Field after impressive performance

There are two ways to look at this. It’s absolutely embarrassing for the Commanders. Having fans from the division rivals chant MVP at an opposing quarterback is just a bad look.

On the other hand, Hurts’ excellent start to the 2022 campaign has him looking like a true franchise quarterback for Philadelphia.

Jalen Hurts very much looking the part for Philadelphia

There was some question heading into the 2022 season whether Hurts was considered Philadelphia’s quarterback of the future. The team was linked to Deshaun Watson in trade talks very early in the process and didn’t seem 100% sold on the former Oklahoma standout. Through three games, and that can now pretty much be thrown out the window.

• Jalen Hurts stats (2022): 67% completion, 916 passing yards, 167 rushing yards, 7 TD, 1 INT, 106.5 QB rating

Perhaps, Philadelphia’s easy early-season schedule has played a role in this. But we can’t take away what Hurts has done thus far during the 2022 campaign. He has Philadelphia as only one of four undefeated teams remaining in the NFL, joining the New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins.

“It was like we were in Philadelphia,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said as he walked off the field. For Washington, that adds insult to injury. As for the Eagles, they are looking like a real juggernaut.

In addition to Jalen Hurts’ performance, the Eagles’ defense did their thing. That included getting to Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz for nine sacks while holding him to 153 net passing yards on 43 attempts. Yeah, Philadelphia looks like a well-rounded team heading into its Week 4 outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
