The Los Angeles Rams-Philadelphia Eagles game in the NFC playoffs on Sunday is a rematch of a regular-season meeting. On Nov. 24, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley broke loose for 255 rushing yards, including touchdown runs of 70 and 72 yards, in Philadelphia’s 37-20 victory.
While most Los Angeles Rams fans are incredibly worried about how Chris Shula's squad is going to slow down Saquon Barkley, one player who has shockingly flown under the radar is Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl quarterback and one-time MVP candidate.
Although the Eagles called 34 rushing plays compared to just 21 pass attempts, quarterback Jalen Hurts played his part as well. He was efficient through the air (13-for-21, 131 yards), distributing touchdown passes to wideout Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert.
“He wants to be great,” Barkley told The Athletic. “He’ll do anything to be great.”
The quarterback returned from a concussion Sunday and led the team to a 12-point first-round playoff win over the Green Bay Packers.
