After a week of internal strife over the passing game, the Eagles quelled concerns early and often. Jalen Hurts was extremely sharp, completing his first eight passes and finishing 25 of 32 for 290 yards with touchdowns to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The idea that Philadelphia couldn't pass the football with the talent assembled had been troubling, to the point that Brown tried to put a spotlight on the issue. Brown finished with nine receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards, and Smith had 11 catches on 12 opportunities for 109 yards.
The Philadelphia Eagles football team remains a respected brand on the board and is profitable this year.
