Philadelphia Eagles

After Hurts threw for 285 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday, it's becoming more difficult to remember any doubts we had about him.

And he threw deep. He threw a lot. He threw early.

The Eagles are still undefeated after stepping over the Steelers and running up the score en route to a seventh victory. By Adam Hermann.

Reddick is such a fantastic weapon to have, especially with Robert Quinn now in tow and Josh Sweat playing at a high level. They could rotate weapons at will and keep everyone fresh to rush the passer with fresh legs. He doesn't need to do everything with his feet like last year - he had just two rushes for 10 yards on Sunday against the Steelers - and the offense is clicking. He knows exactly where he's going with the ball and puts it right on the money, leading Brown away from the coverage and into the end zone. The best way to support a young quarterback and his development is very clearly to surround him with skill, and it's not close. He has athleticism in bushels and puts it on display every week. He has shown improvement from Week 1, and with an entire offseason in the same system under his belt it makes sense. The way he executes not just the big plays but the small and intermediate ones as well. These first two months have been a dream start to the season for Jalen Hurts & Co., who put on a show with a barrage of big-play scores in front of a spicy home crowd. We've seen it in Los Angeles, where Justin Herbert hit the ground running and looked Pro Bowl-ready from his first start because of Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Mike Williams. It was a fun afternoon in South Philly. Buy in and don't look back.

Pickens was held catchless for the first time in his career on three targets, and Pickett was charted with no big-time throws on the day. He totaled five pressures on 32 pass-rushing snaps in an unblockable performance. And a good number of those weren’t getting caught unless the receiver's name was A.J. Brown racked up six catches for 156 yards and three scores. The Eagles ran for over 100 yards on the ground and passed for over 300 yards through the air.

"It’s just nice to go against the other team," said Hargrave, who had eight tackles "It’s a little different urgency. You and your teammates in the end zone, dancing and having fun, putting up a Dub, going crazy. He became the first Eagles WR to have three TDs in one game since Riley Cooper did it on Nov.

Turnover ratio a factor: The challenge doesn't get any easier for the Steelers this week as they head across the state to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

"Kenny has done a really good job of getting the ball out on time," said Daniels. Fans can listen to pregame and postgame programming from anywhere in the world on these platforms. "Probably one of the best defensive tackles the NFL has ever seen, so pretty excited to get a chance to play against him." It's just a really good job of getting the ball out on time.

He is reading the field and putting the ball where he needs to. But we have to get off the bus and not let them score any points." "He does a great job going north to south, but he can also bounce it," said Heyward. The defense has held opponents to a 66.0 passer rating this season, lowest in the NFL, and limited opponents to the second-lowest completion percentage (56.8 percent). "I was also picking his brain, how he sees the field, and stuff like that. The Eagles have the NFL's only perfect record to date, sitting at 6-0 and presenting a challenge on multiple fronts.

The chemistry between the quarterback and wide receiver was on point as the Eagles were razor-sharp coming out of the bye week.

Check out the action as the Eagles host the Steelers in a battle for Pennsylvania bragging rights at Lincoln Financial Field. It's a short week and a quick turnaround, so the team had a definite sense of purpose after the game. On first-and-10 from the Pittsburgh 34, the Eagles ran a perfect play. He put it on the spot for me," Brown said. All of the practice throws and the timing the two worked on paid off on that play. On a second-and-10 throw from the Pittsburgh 39-yard line, Hurts took a snap in the shotgun and threw down the right side for Brown, bracketed in coverage between safeties Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "He knows what I want to accomplish and I know what he wants to accomplish. That surely has happened as Brown now has 39 receptions for 659 yards and five scores as the team won its first seven games in a season for the first time since 2004. "To come off of a bye and get a win, I am just trying to tell the guys that this is how we go from good to great. But what took center stage was the performance from Hurts and the continued chemistry he and Brown have developed. On Sunday, as the Eagles returned to action at Lincoln Financial Field, Hurts did just that, passing for a career-high four touchdowns as Philadelphia blasted cross-state rival Pittsburgh 35-13 to reach the 7-0 mark for only the second time in franchise history. Remember the narrative as the team won its first six outings about playing "a 60-minute game"?

The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated through eight weeks of the NFL season, the last team to say they have a goose egg in the loss column.

If that’s the case, there’ll be a strong argument to make that the Eagles ought to rest their best players at points during the game in preparation for the playoffs. If the Eagles get past the Packers, and survive the Giants, then the toughest game left on the calendar is on Christmas Eve at Jerry World. And the Eagles, though not quite as productive as the Giants, are one of the better rushing teams in the NFL. Despite the Eagles matching up well against the Giants, divisional rivalry games tend to bring out the best in NFC East teams. Brown, traded to the Eagles at the Draft from the Tennessee Titans, caught 6 of those passes for 156 yards and 3 TDs despite lining up against Minkah Fitzpatrick for much of the game.

Just call Jalen Hurts Commissioner Gordon, as, in Week 8, the Philadelphia Eagles' QB1 threw up the bat signal and got all of his Batmans going on the way ...

I’ve seen Dallas Goedert make the craziest catches in the game and in practice. All things considered, Philly will probably take that journey 10 times out of 10, which, coincidentally, might be the number of wins they have when Aaron Rodgers comes to town. Just call Jalen Hurts Commissioner Gordon, as, in Week 8, the Philadelphia Eagles’ QB1 threw up the bat signal and got all of his Batmans going on the way to a perfect 7-0 record – which, in case you didn’t know, is the best mark in the NFL. You know, by Miles, by Nick Sirianni, you know, by everybody,” Hurts responded. Brown on the afternoon – that effectively iced out the contest for the remainder of the game, as Mike Tomlin’s team only scored six more points over the final 45 minutes of the game. Philly went up early 7-0, watched Pittsburgh battle back to seven all, and then the Birds scored a touchdown on their second drive – the second of three to A.J.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for four touchdowns and 285 yards in another impressive performance.

Brown has 3 catches for 57 yards and a TD in the 1st quarter. Brown has 5 catches for 113 yards and 3 TD in the first half. That's a heck of a play to pin the Steelers at their own 1 in a 28-13 game. Left the game in the second quarter. Brown had three touchdown catches in the first half, but his 29-yard catch in the second quarter that gave the Eagles the lead for good showcased he was in for a monster afternoon. The Eagles (7-0) face the Houston Texans on "Thursday Night Football" this week while the Steelers (2-6) have their bye week in Week 9. Hurts went to Brown -- who said he was trying to open up the field to DeVonta Smith -- and the Eagles receiver beat Fitzpatrick to the catch point for the 39-yard score. On third-and-8 from the Steelers' 29-yard line, Hurts went over the top to Brown in the corner of the end zone as Brown corralled the pass to give Philadelphia a 14-7 lead. Zach Pascal also had two catches for 57 yards and a score, including a 34-yard touchdown catch to put the game out of reach in the third quarter. Brown finished with a career-high three touchdowns in a convincing 35-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers to get the Eagles to 7-0 -- matching the best start for the franchise in their 90-year history. Brown finished with six catches for 156 yards and the three scores, becoming the first Eagles player to have three receiving touchdowns in a game since Riley Cooper in 2013. All of the touchdowns were 25-plus yards, the first Eagles player to accomplish that feat since Ben Hawkins in 1969.

A.J. Brown was available because the Titans didn't want to pay him. The Eagles took advantage and traded for him, and now they're reaping the rewards.
