Jalen Hurts responds when everybody's watching' in shutout winJalen Hurts had an awful game against the Chargers but responded in a big way against the Raiders.
DeVonta Smith caught 2-of-2 targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' Week 15 win over the Raiders.With the Eagles up 17-0 at halftime and the Raiders giving zero indication they could fight back, Philly predictably ended up taking the air out of the ball in an eventual 31-0 victory. Jalen Hurts attempted only 18 throws, with both Smith and A.J. Brown being limited to two grabs. The difference was, one of Brown's ended up in the end zone. Frustrating, though a foreseeable outcome in what amounted to an exhibition game for the Eagles. Similar issues could arrive for Week 16 against the Commanders, though no one is as bad as the Raiders right now. Smith will remain a low-end WR2 for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.
Hurts bounces back as Eagles praise QB's resolveJalen Hurts had a rebound performance in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, tossing three touchdowns with no interceptions following a highly scrutinized five-turnover game just six days earlier.
Jalen Hurts Efficient on Light Passing DayEagles QB Jalen Hurts threw just 15 passes in Sunday's beatdown of the Raiders. But he proved much more efficient than in recent weeks. Hurts completed 12 of those throws (80%) for 175 yards (11.7 yards per attempt) and 3 TDs. He added 39 rushing yards on seven carries.
Saquon Barkley Gets the Work Again But Limited YardageEagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 78 yards and a TD in Sunday's lopsided win over the Raiders. His 22 carries marked the second straight game of 20+ and fourth 20+ carry outing among six games since the team's bye. Barkley added 14 yards on 2 receptions among three targets, ranking second on the team in that last category on a day that found Jalen Hurts attempting only 15 passes.
