Eagles Remain Unbeaten as Jalen Hurts Outwits the Cowboy Pass ... (The New York Times)

Hurts, the Eagles quarterback, threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns against one of the N.F.L.'s most fearsome defenses to keep Philadelphia atop the ...

He said after the game that he expected to play next week against the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys had been led by Parsons and their defense, which entered the day having allowed the second-fewest points in the league (72) and ranked second in sacks (20). Drafted in the second round in 2020, Hurts faced criticism for inconsistent streaks as a pocket passer, and entered the year still under evaluation from the front office. Dallas will await Prescott’s return to balance its approach in order to keep pace in the N.F.C. On many plays, that defender was Parsons, a second-year player who entered the game tied for the league lead in sacks (six) but for whom Hurts repeatedly accounted. On their next series, after an Eagles punt, the Cowboys drove 93 yards and scored a touchdown when tight end Jake Ferguson caught a 7-yard pass, closing the gap to 20-17 with 14 minutes 39 seconds left in the game. With his arm and with his legs, Hurts, the third-year quarterback, had propelled the Eagles to the franchise’s third 5-0 start since 1981, stirring newfound excitement for a fan base already viewed as one of the most ardent in the league. In the first half, the Philadelphia defense held Dallas, led by the backup quarterback Cooper Rush, to only 81 total yards of offense and snagged two interceptions. The Eagles and Hurts, who threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns, rose to the moment, pairing their run-pass option system on offense with sticky defensive coverage and timely takeaways in the second quarter, when Philadelphia outscored the Cowboys, 20-3. Gardner-Johnson made a diving interception for his second takeaway of the night, effectively ending the game. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 111 yards and two touchdowns and the team rushed for 136 yards. East rivalry, especially before a prime-time matchup to determine first place in the division.

Jalen Hurts shows Cowboys just how good he now is, changing ... (CBSSports.com)

[Eagles](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/PHI/philadelphia-eagles/) scored 20 points in the second quarter, as the Cowboys defense allowed 26 points in the loss. Hurts is the only quarterback to have a 100-plus passer rating against the Cowboys defense this year, one that had allowed fewer than 20 points in every game they played this season before Sunday night. "You'd be naive to think I hadn't remembered that," Hurts said on his last encounter with the Cowboys. Lawrence was focusing on the Eagles quarterback to fire up a Cowboys defense that had been shutting down its opponents to stay alive in the NFC East race, beating good quarterbacks like [Joe Burrow](/nfl/players/2179798/joe-burrow/) and [Matthew Stafford](/nfl/players/1114942/matthew-stafford/) along the way. [Dallas Cowboys](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/DAL/dallas-cowboys/) star [DeMarcus Lawrence](/nfl/players/1984683/demarcus-lawrence/) wasn't buying the Hurts hype, saying earlier in the week "he hasn't played the Cowboys yet, so we don't know how good he is." Hurts didn't need Lawrence's comments as motivation or added fuel to the fire to prove a point.

How Jalen Hurts' Michael Jordan moment and Eagles' toughness ... (The News Journal)

Jason Kelce knew exactly when the Eagles had taken the Cowboys' will away, and Jalen Hurts used a Michael Jordan quote to prove it.

We wanted to get a first down, and at that time of the game, things tend to get chippy … The Eagles traded for him just 10 days before the season started, then converted him to safety from nickel corner, a position he had never played in the NFL. After the game, Gardner-Johnson had a large cut on his hand. So it wasn't surprising that the Cowboys lost their temper at the end, when Odighizuwa tackled Kelce. Then Gardner-Johnson left in the third quarter with a hand injury, only to return late in the quarter before making the game-clinching interception in the fourth. He led the Eagles with 5 catches for 67 yards. In the first half, we were stopping the run like we needed to, making him throw the ball. The Eagles improved to 6-0 while the Cowboys fell into third place at 4-2. That drew a 15-yard penalty, giving the Eagles a first down. You want to get a 3-and-out, and get your offense back in it to make plays. You can run the ball, whatever it is. But really, it was the end of a frustrating night for the Cowboys, who came up short.

Jalen Hurts: You want to put teams away (NBC Sports)

The Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the NFL. Sunday night's 26-17 win over the Cowboys kept the Eagles as the league's only unbeaten team, ...

You don’t want to give them an opportunity to make it a close game or get an opportunity to have the ball in their hands. But you have to be able to do it efficiently. “I think about Michael Jordan when he said “Put them away, MJ.” You want to put them away.

Jalen Hurts conducts 'Quarterback 101' for Cowboys (al.com)

The Philadelphia Eagles used the formula that had allowed them to win their first five games of the 2022 NFL season in Game No. 6 against the Dallas Cowboys ...

It’s a climb, and the higher you get in that climb, it gets more treacherous.” “But I think the beautiful part about this football team is regardless of the circumstance, regardless of how it looks, we stick together, and we’ve shown that throughout this first six-week stint. The Eagles will return to the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers at noon CDT Oct. In the third game of the 2021 campaign, Hurts passed for 326 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions in a 41-21 loss. I try to find value in all my experiences, and that was a valuable experience for me. He used the clock. Sunday Night Football, division rival, both at the top of the division, and he’s unfazed by things. I think that was a great display of controlling what we could and playing together and trusting each other on that drive. Who can truly stay the course? Who can stay the course? The Philadelphia Eagles used the formula that had allowed them to win their first five games of the 2022 NFL season in Game No. [Hurts said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9gFKlazDv0) after the game.
