National reactions: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has best game of career in win over Titans

Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns, rushed for one, and the Eagles dominated the Titans on Sunday, earning a 35-10 win at Lincoln Financial Field.

Philadelphia contained Derrick Henry — who had 11 carries for 30 yards — and harassed Ryan Tannehill who was sacked six times. The Titans (7-5) lost their second straight but still have a 2.5-game lead in the AFC South.

Jalen Hurts has the best game of his career?

The Eagles hosted the Titans on Sunday afternoon in what was built up to be a physical game that was dominated by the Eagles. All-Pro running back Derrick Henry was shut down by the Eagles, held to just 30 yards on 11 carries. Jalen Hurts had yet another phenomenal outing, perhaps his best since he’s come into the league, throwing for three touchdowns and running for another score. Sheil and Ben discuss the big win for the Birds, and whether any team in the NFC can stop them from winning the NFC and playing in the Super Bowl.

A.J. Brown gets his revenge game against former Titans teammates.

Draft Day didn’t appear to be a pleasant experience for Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, who could be seen shaking his head on camera in the team’s war room mere moments after the Brown trade to Philadelphia was made official. Vrabel likely felt similarly on Sunday, watching his former star wideout toast his secondary a few times. Brown and Titans general manager Jon Robinson exchanged pleasantries before the game, but the now-Eagles’ star — who has had some fumble issues lately — turned vengeful in grabbing eight catches (on 10 targets) for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

DeVonta Smith set the tone

We spent all summer talking about DeVonta Smith potentially regressing due to A.J. Brown’s arrival.

Smith has 61 catches for 711 yards and four touchdowns on the year, on pace for 86 catches and 1,007 yards for the season.

“We all grow from experiences — and I think experience is the biggest teacher,” Hurts said. “DeVonta’s grown from everything. He’s grown from stuff in college, from being a rookie last year, practice, all these things. His game’s been definitely taken to another level.”

Weeks after he suggested the Eagles were frauds and not the No. 1 team in the league, Hill appears to have had a change of heart.
