The Eagles remain the top team in the NFC East after a 48-22 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts returned to the scene of his worst game and led Philadelphia with 217 yards passing and the third-year quarterback also ran for 77 yards and the score.
The Birds will now turn their attention to the rebuilding Chicago Bears, who have a young star of their own at quarterback.
Justin Fields is hoping for the same jump in the potential that has Hurts among the NFL’s MVP candidates.

Eberflus has implemented the kind of culture that this young team really needed. Obviously, there was some skepticism, especially when Flus came in with his H.I.T.S. principle. But it didn’t take long for the players to buy in, as well as respect the accountability and standard in place.
