Overview
- Hurts engineered a nine-play, 65-yard drive in 1:47 and threw a 3-yard touchdown to Darius Cooper with nine seconds remaining to lift the Eagles to a 24-20 road win on Sunday.
- Hurts completed 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and distributed targets to nine different receivers, a sign the offense is working deeper into progressions.
- DeVonta Smith led the team with 10 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown and made a key 19-yard sideline catch on the final drive that set up the winning score.
- The game followed pregame comments from Titans DT Jeffrey Simmons about forcing Hurts to 'be a quarterback,' and Hurts confronted Simmons after the win, saying on camera, 'You started that s---, I had to finish it.'
- Hurts' comeback added to his record of late-game finishes, moved him past Carson Wentz on the Eagles' career touchdown list, and raised questions about how to weigh his clutch playmaking against traditional passer metrics.
