Fans noticed that Jalen Hurts was seemingly ill at ease while stretching his body. Many speculated that he could be injured and might be carrying a niggle ahead of a crucial few games in the NFL regular season for the Eagles.

But as he returned in the second half of the game, the injury concerns, though in the back of many fans' minds, seemed to take a backseat as Hurts put up a stellar show. The quarterback completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards for three touchdowns. It included a widely-cheered 27-yard link-up TD scored with AJ Brown.
