Eagles Secure Eighth Win Amid MVP Talks

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is gaining recognition for his performance this season, despite some criticism labeling him merely as a game manager. The Eagles have turned their season around post-bye week with a current record of 10-2, largely thanks to Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley. Hurts has been pivotal in the Eagles' success, contributing 14 passing touchdowns and 12 rushing touchdowns, showcasing efficiency that has sparked MVP conversations, especially emphasized by coach Nick Sirianni's passionate defense of Hurts' abilities. Barkley, with 1,766 total yards, is also seen as an MVP contender, marking a significant impact in his first year with the Eagles after leaving the New York Giants. Both players have been crucial in the Eagles' eight-game winning streak, with Hurts' leadership and decision-making being highlighted as key factors for their success.
