The Eagles are 10-1 and having success running the ball this season precisely because Hurts has shown that he can pass the ball. And, when something is working to extraordinary levels, like the Eagles' running attack was in the 40-33 win over the Green Bay Packers, why stop?Hurts ran for 157 yards, Miles Sanders added 143 yards, both career highs.
It was going so well that Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was telling offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, who calls the plays,"Hey, run it again, run it again, run it again." So the Eagles moved the Packers up and down the field, all night long, from Point A to Point B to Point C to the end zone. "That’s playoff football," Brown said."Whenever you can run the ball, that’s what you want. The pass helping out the run. When we’re doing a good job of that, that opens things up. I think when we’re running the ball so well, there’s no need for to do certain things."Because they did, Hurts ran on them, right from the start. On the first series of the game, facing a 3rd-and-10, Hurts took off and gained 24 yards.
The Packers tried using a linebacker to spy Hurts. It didn't work. They brought a safety closer to the line of scrimmage. That didn't work, either. "That’s going to kill a defense and make them change their play calling with coverages and stuff like that. It makes them all discombobulated with trying to contain all the talent that we have with this offense."Hurts' passing has made all of that possible. He's among the NFL leaders in completion percentage at 67.3 and passer rating at 105.8.
