As showdowns go, Carson Wentz vs. Jalen Hurts was only ... (nj.com)

Jalen Hurts was the only guy on the field Sunday who looked like a franchise quarterback. The Eagles rode one dominant quarter to an easy victory over a ...

Hurts placed the ball perfectly to DeVonta Smith in the left corner of the end zone, and Smith outfought a defender for the catch. The personal foul gave Washington a first down at the Eagles’ 14 near the end of the third quarter, but Avonte Maddox wrapped up Logan Thomas on fourth-and-goal from the 1. The sequence that led to fourth-and-goal from the Washington 2 in the last few seconds of the first half was a mess, but the Eagles redeemed themselves with a beautiful fourth-down touchdown. Dallas Geodert scored his first touchdown of the season on a tight end screen and it was a signature Goedert play. The Eagles are 3-0 for the first time since 2016, but they are making a habit of building big leads and then slacking off, and that was exactly what happened Sunday. The Eagles’ 24-8 victory over Wentz and the Washington Commanders Sunday at FedEx Field was 0-0 at the end of the first quarter, in which neither Wentz nor Hurts was able to get much done.

Jalen Hurts dominates, Carson Wentz chokes in Eagles revenge game (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

This was the first chance the Eagles and Philadelphia had to repay Wentz's unprecedented treachery.

Brown, highly paid veterans on the defensive side of the ball, and the best offensive line in the NFL. 14, a Monday Night Football contest, and the prime-time nature of the contest will resurrect all of the points highlighted above. Given the vagaries of the NFL — players get hurt and benched and traded — there might never be another Hurts vs. He resented the love Nick Foles received for Foles’ playoff success as his backup, and was, inexplicably, incensed when the Eagles drafted Hurts in the second round of the 2020 draft to be a gadget-play backup. The Colts traded him to the Commanders, the most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL. This was the first chance the Eagles and Philadelphia had to repay Wentz’s unprecedented treachery. Wentz started hot for the Colts but fizzled at the end. He even leaked trade requests during the rest of that season. Wentz, in 2020 and 2021, did the wrong thing.

But on Sunday, at home, facing the team he’d betrayed and about 10,000 ravenous Eagles fans, Wentz choked. — This wasn’t Philadelphia against Washington, or the Eagles vs.

Jalen Hurts, Carson Wentz Deemed 'Quarterback Mismatch' as ... (Bleacher Report)

In the game billed as Carson Wentz taking on the team that drafted him for the first time, it was the Philadelphia Eagles' current quarterback who stole the ...

There was little doubt that Philadelphia had to move on from Wentz when he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in March 2021. The unit has been shutout by the Eagles and Detroit Lions with a total of 86 yards.

With no timeouts remaining, Hurts and the offense quickly got in shotgun formation. The first half Sunday was nothing short of a masterpiece for the Eagles on both sides of the ball. DeVonta Smith's 45-yard reception from Jalen Hurts had a completion probability of 8.1%, the most improbable completion so far this season.

🔹 Air Distance: 58.7 yds
🔹 Sideline Distance: 0.5 yds

The pass was also Hurts' longest completion of his career.#PHIvsWAS

Former Panthers HC Ron Rivera compares Jalen Hurts to Cam ... (Panthers Wire)

An athletic dual-threat quarterback from the SEC who wears No. 1? Yup, sounds like we're about to get another Cam Newton comparison.

We talked about different situations that may come up in a day, being at new turning points in our careers, him being with the Patriots and me with the Eagles. I made sure that I told him about the admiration I’ve had for such a long time along with guys like Mike Vick and Randall Cunningham. We talked about the different adjustments that come with those things.
