Jalen Hurts celebrated Dallas Goedert after scoring his record-tying touchdown in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 29-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Saturday night.
Hurts enjoyed a solid performance leading the Eagles offense in the Week 16 matchup. He completed 22 passes out of 30 attempts for 185 yards and two touchdowns while recording seven rushes for 40 yards.
One of his connections with Goedert took place in the end zone during the third quarter. Hurts commanded a 17-play, 83-yard drive as he ended it with a 15-yard pass to Goedert for the touchdown. This allowed Hurts to achieve a new career high in total touchdown passes, having 24 and counting this season.
Hurts reflected on the win after the game, per reporter Mike Garofolo. He praised Goedert for completing the play while commenting on how willing Philadelphia was going into the game.
“Just executing, finding a way, lots of will to win, and find a way to get this victory. So that’s a great play by him, great sequence, and overall, just happy was able to bring it home,” Hurts said.
