Two weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles seemed battered. But after throttling the New York Giants 38-7 on Saturday, the Eagles suddenly look rejuvenated and back on a championship flight path heading into next Sunday, ByNateDavis writes.
“You work really hard for these opportunities, they’re not a dime a dozen," said Hurts, who won a national title at Alabama.
"It’s a special thing, it’s a special feeling, and it’s a special type of togetherness that we have, and I don’t think it’s something that I’ve experienced quite like this for sure on the NFL level." His numbers didn't boggle the mind – 154 yards and two TDs passing, with another 34 yards and a TD on the ground – but it was his presence that seemed to buoy the Eagles after they nearly frittered away the NFC's No. 1 seed following a 13-1 start.
"To have him out there is like – I know this is high praise – is like having Michael Jordan out there. He's your leader, he's your guy," said Sirianni.And few teams have put together a more dominant 60 minutes of football this season than the Eagles did Saturday night. The Cowboys or 49ers will surely provide a much stiffer test a week from now, San Francisco in particular a clear and present dangerBut the Eagles have served a fresh reminder they're not to be trifled with and are just as tough and talented as any team left in the field. “I truly never put a limit on myself and I never put a limit on what this team can do, so there’s always more out there for us to get," said Hurts.
