Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned into Superman on Philadelphia's second-quarter scoring drive against the Falcons on "Monday Night Football."
He did everything on the series to give the Eagles a 7-3 lead, including keeping it alive with a 23-yard scramble on a fourth-and-three from Atlanta's 41-yard line.
Hurts added a 15-yard run on a third-and-11 that set the Eagles up with a first-and-goal at the Atlanta four-yard line.
The drive ended with Hurts finding wideout DeVonta Smith in the middle of the endzone for six.
Hurts finished the series 4-of-5 for 36 yards and the touchdown while adding 47 yards on three rush attempts.
It was a welcome contribution after Hurts and the Eagles offense squandered an excellent second series from running back Saquon Barkley, who gained 39 yards on four carries during the drive.
Hurts missed a fourth-down throw that kept the game tied at 0-0.
Barkley has been held in check since his strong start, losing two yards on four carries.
If the Eagles can get him and Hurts hot simultaneously, they might be on to something.
