Roob’s Observations: Eagles blow out Bengals in Cincinnati - NBCSP
3. This was the best Jalen Hurts has looked in a long, long time. Probably since the first Dallas game last year. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards with a 45-yard TD to DeVonta Smith, three rushing TDs and for the fourth straight game no interceptions. He spread the ball around, he made great decisions, he got rid of the ball fast, he just looked super engaged and it seemed like his mind was working quickly. That’s three straight games without a turnover and four straight without an interception. When a quarterback can drive the ball down the field and be aggressive while avoiding turnovers, you’re going to win almost every time. Three games since the bye, Hurts is at 71 percent with four touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 3-0 record. He’s not forcing the ball anymore. He’s not rushing things. He looks as comfortable as he has since 2022 and Kellen Moore and Doug Nussmeier have a lot to do with that, but Hurts deserves a ton of credit for cleaning up the flaws in his game and getting back to doing the things he does well.

1) The ‘That’s More Like It’ Award : Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts’ day didn’t get off to a great start, as the Eagles’ first two drives ended with poor throws. The first was a deep ball to A.J. Brown on 3rd and 15 that sailed well over Brown’s head and fell harmlessly incomplete. Brown had a one-on-one opportunity, and ideally you’d like to at least give your elite receiver a chance to make a play on the ball. On the second drive, he threw a ball to the flat to a well-covered Kenny Gainwell, and Gainwell had to transition to being the defender on the play to prevent an interception. Otherwise, Hurts had a terrific performance on Sunday, completing 16 of 20 passes (80%) for 236 yards (11.8 YPA), and a TD to DeVonta Smith. He also ran for three...
